            Death rates from asthma are highest in children aged 15 to 17 years old.

            Children living in more deprived areas are 4 times more likely to die from asthma.

            These deaths are avoidable. Good management of asthma is crucial for avoiding  asthma deaths and can reduce school absences of which asthma accounts for 18%.

            Asthma prevention needs to be actively managed in schools.

            Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board have recently produced Guidance on the Management of Asthma in Schools. The guidance can be accessed via the Google Drive here.

             

            The new guidance includes information for schools about:

            • A school asthma policy
            • Asthma register
            • Asthma lead
            • Immediate access to inhalers for pupils
            • Having an up-to-date asthma action plan for all pupils with asthma
            • Emergency inhalers held by schools
            • Staff training
            • Promotion of asthma awareness

            Herefordshire and Worcestershire Asthma Guidance

            There will be two free webinars to support your understanding of the guidance including the issues associated with asthma in schools, action needed and preventative approaches.
