For many people in Australia, spring (or the dry season in tropical areas) can be a difficult time. This is particularly so for people with asthma and/or hay fever as during spring there is often an increased amount of pollen in the air which may trigger hay fever symptoms or an asthma flare-up or attack.
2020 has and continues to be a hard year for people with asthma, between bushfire smoke and COVID-19 risks. As we move into the spring season, health professionals play a critical role in providing information and support to people with asthma.
To help your patients start spring in a positive frame of mind, Asthma Australia have developed a Spring Asthma Pack which includes the following printed resources:
- Asthma and hay fever infographic
- Asthma and hay fever (Allergic Rhinitis) fact sheet
- Asthma Connect flyer and Asthma Australia referral form
- Think GP health professional training brochure
- Anxiety, Depression and Asthma consumer resource
- 1800 ASTHMA and COACH resource packs
- A3 poster
- Get continuous support for your asthma patients brochure
- 20 x Asthma Australia referral cards
Click here to register for a pack and help your patients to stay well this spring.
