We are closed for the Christmas/New Year break from 23rd Dec 2022 to 17th Jan 2023. Any referrals received during this time will be contacted by the team on our return. Our Facebook page, Youtube channel and this website hold a wealth of information (e.g. correct inhaler technique etc) that may be of use during this time.”

We are a committed and dedicated charity striving to meet the highest standards, while working with the community and you, our health care professionals. Asthma Waikato provides education for health professionals in how to provide asthma and COPD management, education and support.

However, your input and advice is critical to help us better understand the needs of health care providers and patients alike, and so that we can continue to improve our service. Working with you is essential to gaining information we need to deliver our service and help you deliver yours.
