I'm new here

I've been struggling with asthma since I was a toddler. I'm better at controlling it now but my experiences have made me realise how important it is to control and manage asthma effectively. I'm now a researcher at De Montfort University, Leicester with a primary interest in respiratory health with the hope to improve asthma self management in all communities.

Thank you, that means a lot. I really hope to improve asthma self care, it's especially important in the UK with the rising rates of both diagnosis and asthma deaths
