Bronchiectasis self-management plan

A bronchiectasis self-management plan helps you to manage and understand your condition, with guidance and support from your healthcare professionals when you need it. It should support you to find ways to manage your symptoms better and live well with bronchiectasis.

A bronchiectasis self-management plan keeps important information about your condition in one place, including:

everyday advice to manage your condition
how to spot and treat flare-ups
when to see your healthcare professional
what the colour of your phlegm (sputum) means.

Using a bronchiectasis self-management plan can also help you recognise early symptoms of flare-ups and treat them quickly.
