Do you need to review your asthma action plan?

Asthma symptoms can worsen in spring and summer as the pollen count increases.

It's important to keep a digital copy of your asthma action plan on your phone so it’s accessible.

If you’re the parent or carer of a child with asthma, remember to provide a copy of the plan to your child's school, preschool or childcare facility.

For more information, call the Asthma Helpline on 1800 ASTHMA (1800 278 462) or visit www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/asthma

It’s going to be a hot one tomorrow, so stay cool 😎

Heatstroke happens when the body temperature rises above 40.5 degrees Celsius. Immediate first aid is needed to lower the body temperature as quickly as possible.

To treat heatstroke:
• If you notice symptoms in yourself or others, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.
• If the person is unconscious, do not give them aspirin or paracetamol
• move them to a cool area and keep them still
• give them small sips of fluid.

If you can, bring their temperature down by:
• sponging them with cool water
• putting them in a cool shower
• spraying them with cool water from a garden hose
• soaking their clothes with cool water
• placing cool packs around them.

Today is World Psoriasis Day, a day to raise awareness of and recognise the challenges of living with psoriasis and psoriatic disease

Psoriasis is a non-contagious autoimmune disease that impacts approximately 1.6 million Australians. This year’s theme, "Psoriatic Disease and Comorbidities," highlights the serious health risks linked to psoriatic disease, including heart disease, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Our Help, helps resource hub features the story of Renee and her experience of accessing life-changing dermatological treatment for psoriasis: https://www.dermcoll.edu.au/helphelps/

We are pleased to work with Psoriasis Australia who champion the needs of people impacted by psoriasis.
