Information about services and support available in Sheffield special education needs and disabilities.

Asthma is a common condition affecting 1 in 11 children and young people, with every school classroom containing 1 or 2 children with Asthma. If not treated well, Asthma has a significant impact on a child’s quality of life and their ability to enjoy activities and education.

It also puts them at risk from episodes of breathing difficulty, known as Asthma attacks.

Sadly, some children and young people with asthma will die from these attacks every year. These episodes are preventable with good asthma care delivered in partnership with the child or young person through empowering them to manage their asthma.

I am a clinical lead responsible for overseeing patient safety incident response framework and facilitating collaborative efforts to enhance patient safety and shared learning across the region, while also engaging in various projects.
