Becoming a better asthma researcher by asking people with asthma what they want

About one in eight people in the UK have asthma attacks and researchers at the Nottingham Asthma Centre (part of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust) are studying how to stop the early symptoms of an attack turning into a serious event.

We need volunteers to help us research the different triggers and symptoms, so we can find new ways to treat the condition and reduce the use of steroid tablets, which can have undesirable side effects.

This study is about recording your breathing and other signs - we are not testing any new treatments and your current treatment won't change.

If you are interested in taking part in this study, please contact Karen Shaw or Rob Needham at the Nottingham Asthma Centre Karen Shaw or Rob Needham , or visit nuh.nhs.uk/research.
