Summary
This project, which is a community-based intervention, aims to improve outcomes for children and young people with asthma, including reduced asthma admissions and ED attendances. Improved outcomes also include less school absences due to asthma related illness, increased staff knowledge, confidence in relation to asthma management and increased ability to support the CYP with managing their asthma in school.
Effective asthma management at school has many positive outcomes including improving the ability to learn and participate fully during their school day. Promoting an asthma friendly environment through training and the adoption of asthma focused policies and procedures will ensure that CYP are safe while they are in school.
The post is hosted and supported by the secondary care acute provider trust but the focus of the service will be to implement the asthma friendly schools programme across York education settings and upskill and empower Primary Care colleagues to provide asthma care to CYP and their families.
The Asthma Friendly Schools Programme is a national initiative to promote the health & wellbeing of pupils with asthma. This ensures they have minimal disruption to their education, can access the full curriculum and are not disadvantaged by their disease.
If you are currently employed by the Trust and you wish to apply for this role on a secondment basis, please seek permission from your current line manager before applying for the post.
