We are delighted to announce a series of FREE community workshops this autumn, offering people with asthma – and parents of children with asthma – the chance to learn, connect, and find support.
The first two workshops will take place in:
- Limerick: Savoy Hotel, Saturday 18 October, 11am–2pm (register here)
- Portlaoise: Laois Leisure, Saturday 25 October, 11am–2pm (register here)
What to expect
Each workshop will feature a mix of expert advice, lived experience, and practical sessions to help participants feel more confident in managing asthma. Highlights include:
- Expert speakers on asthma basics, medication, and preventive care
- Patient advocate stories from people living with asthma
- Practical sessions led by a physiotherapist or mental health professional
- Nurse-led inhaler technique support and diagnostic testing
- Interactive Q&A and small-group discussions
- Activities for families and children to encourage learning in a fun way
- Information stands and take-home resources
Why attend?
Participants will learn how to:
- Manage asthma day-to-day and stay well
- Improve inhaler technique and optimise medication use
- Understand the importance of asthma reviews and Action Plans
- Access Asthma Society supports and services
These events are not only educational – they are also a chance to meet others, share experiences, and feel part of a supportive asthma community.
Looking ahead
The Limerick and Portlaoise events are just the beginning. We will also host workshops in Galway and Wicklow in the coming months. Keep an eye on our website and social channels for more details.
