Asthma is a very common chronic condition affecting three million people in the UK today. The severity of asthma varies considerably, both in children and adults. Many have mild asthma with only occasional problems, whilst others sometimes require hospital admission to control severe attacks.

However, the majority of people can reasonably expect to lead normal and active lives. Asthma cannot be cured, but with the correct treatment from us and good self management many asthma sufferers can realistically expect to be free of symptoms and able to enjoy and participate in activities like everyone else.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the name for a collection of lung diseases including chronic bronchitis, emphysema and chronic obstructive airways disease. The main symptom of COPD is an inability to breathe in and out properly. This is also referred to as airflow obstruction.

Airflow obstruction is caused by long-term damage to the lungs, usually as a result of smoking.

How common is COPD?
COPD is one of the most common respiratory diseases in the UK. It usually affects people who are over 40 years of age.

Around 900,000 people in the UK have been diagnosed with COPD, but it is thought that the actual figure is much higher. This is because many people who develop the symptoms of COPD do not seek medical attention.

Please book an appointment with the HCA or nurse.

Diabetes is a long-term (chronic) condition caused by too much glucose (sugar) in the blood. It is also known as diabetes mellitus.

In the UK, diabetes affects approximately 2.3 million people, and it's thought there are at least half a million more people who have the condition but are not aware of it.
