Action plan

A bronchiectasis action management plan should be developed and discussed with all patients with bronchiectasis. The plan should include strategies for when they are feeling well and what to do when their symptoms deteriorate i.e. have an exacerbation. Using this has been shown to reduce acute medical presentations and improve the timely uptake of the influenza vaccine.

Talking boards are available in several Indigenous languages at the Menzies School of Health Research website – http://www.menzies.edu.au/
