Book a consultChest and breathing problems, assessed at one visit
The respiratory clinic assesses asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chest infections, with a chest X-ray available at the same visit where it helps the diagnosis. Your consultant reviews the film alongside your symptoms and breathing tests before agreeing a management plan.
For patients admitted to the ward with a chest condition, respiratory physiotherapy is arranged as part of inpatient care, helping clear secretions and support breathing alongside medical treatment.
