First Aid Update

What is thunderstorm asthma?

Thunderstorm asthma is an asthma attack in someone who is allergic to grass pollen, caused by breathing outdoor air just before a storm. Even people without asthma can have thunderstorm asthma.

Spring thunderstorm weather can cause pollen grains to burst into tiny pieces and the wind then blows them around us. When people with pollen allergy breathe in these tiny pieces of pollen they can get deep inside the lungs and trigger an asthma attack.

All medication (with the exception of Ventolin) must come to the office with a note or Medication Request Form. 

All Asthma Action plans need to be updated every 12 months by your child's GP and forwarded to the office. 

Any queries about Medical Action Plans or medication please call the office.
