The Asthma Foundation has a modern asthma self management plan for adults that is to be completed together by doctors and their patients with asthma. A seven-step guide to writing the new plan has also been published; aimed at health professionals.
The plan covers both single intervention therapy (combination therapy) and conventional therapy. These plans are particularly important for all patients who have had a life-threatening episode, required hospitalisation, needed a course of oral steroids or frequently require out-of-hours urgent care.
