Welcome to "Asthma News in the UK and Ireland"on .
The purpose of this web site is to collate up to date news and information on asthma in the UK and Ireland.
There is much information on asthma on the world wide web, but it is not always easily found, particularly
with regard to contemporary news items. This web site hopes to fill a gap in asthma information from a UK and Ireland perspective.
In the “asthma in the news” section there are currently 305 links to online news stories on topics including allergens and triggers, childhood asthma, complementary therapies, diet, genes, drugs and inhalers, obesity, occupational asthma, and pollution. In addition there are currently 108 links to online news stories on allergy topics including nut and other food allergies, skin allergies, hay fever, household hygiene, pets and allergy prevalence in the “allergy in the news” section.
In addition to conventional drug treatments for asthma, complementary therapies are also available, and Asthma News in the UK and Ireland will provide news on research and developments in this important area.
Asthma books, DVD's and videos are reviewed and can be purchased in association with Amazon.co.uk, along with asthma friendly toys, nebulisers, and allergy products. Information on the Asthmalyser intelligent asthma diary software for Windows is supplied in the “asthma software” section.
Asthma statistics show that asthma is a very large and growing problem for modern society. It is hoped that Asthma News in the UK and Ireland will provide an information resource that helps individuals with asthma or other breathing related disorders with their condition.
