The Paediatric Asthma Community Nurse supports children and young people aged 5-18 with an asthma diagnosis.
This service is supported by consultants from Royal Free London Hospitals (RFL Barnet and Chase Farm).
This service aims to:
- Improve the confidence and self-care skills of children and young people as well as their parents/carers to manage their asthma effectively.
- Improve emotional and social wellbeing through the reduction of stress during periods of illness.
- Improve the coordination of local services to help patients manage their asthma.
- Reduce the amount of time patients spend in acute/hospital settings.
