Severe Asthma Service
The Severe Asthma Service is based in our airways clinic at Nottingham City Hospital, North corridor.
Asthma is a disease of the breathing tubes. Asthma causes these tubes to narrow and become inflamed. Severe (or difficult) asthma is the definition used to describe those people who are suffer from asthma attacks (exacerbations) even if they are receiving optimal treatment, or are regular users of high dose inhaled or oral steroids.
At Nottingham University Hospitals, we have a team of healthcare professionals who provide inpatient and outpatient care, including specialist nurses, physiotherapists and doctors.
As well as providing care for patients from across Nottinghamshire we also treat patients via referrals from Derby, Kings Mill, Boston, Grantham and Lincoln Hospitals.
