NHS North East London

Hear from Jessica Russell, Children and Young People's North East London Asthma Practitioner, about the support being offered to north east London schools to help them become Asthma and Allergy Friendly.

The #AskAboutAsthma campaign is returning this September to help children and young people to make small changes that will make a big difference to how they experience asthma. Last year over 6,500 children attended A&E with asthma related issues in north east London. We want to raise awareness of how serious a condition asthma can be in children and young people and how symptoms can be managed to stop them worsening. Experts from our Babies Children and Young People team will be supporting NHS England with a number of webinars to help colleagues across health and care to better support children and young people with asthma. A one-day virtual conference will also be taking place on Thursday 12 September: https://lnkd.in/edw8hDN6 See below details for the full webinar programme: Asthma & air pollution webinar (Monday 9 September: 1.00 – 2.00): A webinar aimed at anyone interested in air pollution and how it affects children and young people with asthma.

We have been working with Newham council to create vaccination videos for north east London, with a difference. Videos with local doctors and real local people, for local people. We want to invite people to have a conversation about vaccinations, to learn more and to talk to a health professional if they have any worries or questions. They are not about telling anyone what to do. There's a whole selection of videos you can view on our YouTube channel (https://lnkd.in/d7kV9N8j) covering maternity, childhood, teenage and adult vaccinations. This video introduces the campaign, please do watch and share our content with anyone you think might benefit from seeing it: https://lnkd.in/dHfFV-hD
