Portable nebulisers, why so fiddly?

We had a couple of computer technological hitches recently which served to remind us just how some of you feel when confronted by the small portable nebulisers.

All those elements we take for granted, mesh cap technology, lithium battery, dual voltage, not to mention all those leads, wires and tiny buttons. Words and practices that after a while have just become second nature for us just as checking your mirror or changing gear when you drive may be for you.

So if you are thinking of investing in a small portable travel nebuliser don’t be put off. Over the years we have had feedback from so many customers who, with advice on which nebuliser would be most suitable for their needs, a small amount of patient explanation regarding assembly and care and a little practice before setting out, have discovered a whole new lease of life or added an extra dimension to their day.

If you are thinking that small portable nebulisers are a little fiddly? Are they are worth investing the money and possibly the time needed to become familiar? I can assure you that for very many of our customers the overwhelming answer is YES and with a little patience operating a portable nebuliser can become as easy as operating your mains nebuliser. 

So why not begin today? Give us a call on 01942 701210 or email HERE. We are here to answer your questions whatever they may be and to provide you with as much support as needed to help you on your way. Or you can view our portable nebuliser range by clicking HERE

Good News Week

Despite the weather trying to dampen our spirits this has to be seen as good news and,

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate The British Lung Foundation and Asthma U.K., who have both this week been celebrating victory, with the welcomed  announcement of the Governments, National Outcomes Strategy to tackle Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Asthma, which hopefully in the future has the potential to halve hospital admissions from these medical conditions.

They have both been campaigning for many years to get the COPD and Asthma Outcomes Strategy published.

Every seven minutes someone with asthma is admitted to hospital, and asthma costs the NHS more than £1billion per year and BLF research shows that there are 3.7 million people suffering with COPD which is the second highest reason for emergency hospital admission across the country. Eight million people across the UK. suffer with lung disease.

The National Outcomes Strategy for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Asthma in England recommends that patients should have a prompt and accurate diagnosis, standardised care across the country, shared decision-making regarding their treatment and the ongoing support to manage their condition themselves.

There is still a great deal to do to make sure that patients receive the improved outcomes set out in this strategy especially at a time of budget cuts but maybe the sun is starting to come out after all.
