ATEX: AN INFORMATIVE EVENING AT THE ASTHMA FOUNDATION

Members of the public with an interest in the condition of asthma were invited to attend the annual Ask the Expert evening, held on the 12 th May 2009 at the Asthma Foundations West Perth Office .

Kristina Croxford the Education and Training Manager presented a brief overview of the disease, followed by a demonstration on the correct application of Asthma First Aid.

Following this segment, attendees were given the opportunity to discuss their own asthma concerns with Asthma Foundation e ducators and purchase products to assist in the control of their symptoms.

Dr Alan James a Clinical Associate Professor and respiratory specialist delivered the principle address of the evening which looked at asthma in adults. More specifically his talk covered airway narrowing and its treatment in the control of asthma symptoms.

The winter months inevitably see an onset of asthma symptoms and attacks and increased likelihood of hospital admissions.
