Asthma — Ellen Health

Getting your asthma under control

We offer individualised care plans for all chronic diseases. Chronic Disease Care plans are a feature of quality general practice, where your doctor prepares a careful review of your health needs, and together, you set goals and action plans to optimise your health and quality of life. Care plans may assist you in accessing medicare benefits in order to reduce the cost of allied health visits.

Your doctor may arrange specialised team care arrangements, and liaise with your other health providers, where appropriate.

Medication reviews with your pharmacist may be recommended. You will be invited to participate in regular care plan reviews.

If you are interested in exploring dietary and environmental triggers, please make an appointment with our nurse practitioner.

There are special programs for patients with asthma and diabetes.

Our goal is to help you in managing your asthma so as to achieve your best possible lung function as well as keeping symptoms and exacerbations to a minimum.
Specialised lung function tests (spirometry) are performed on site to assist with the diagnosis and monitoring of asthma.
