Welcome to the International Severe Asthma Network

This international network of specialist centres seeks to optimise severe asthma care through collaboration, shared experience and clinical research. It is hosted by Guy’s Severe Asthma Centre and led by Professor David Jackson.

Our objectives


Optimise the ability of each centre to diagnose and manage patients with severe and difficult-to-treat asthma using a multi-disciplinary team approach.


Provide a forum for continuous professional development with journal clubs of recently published data, opportunities for complex case discussions and multi-disciplinary workshops.


Participate in clinical research to understand the unmet need in each respective country, improve patient care, as well as the academic output of each member institution.

What the network offers

We bring together clinicians from across the globe to share best practice together and ensure the highest level of asthma care is achieved for patients. To support this, we are providing an extensive programme of activities.
