Diagnosis and treatment of all kinds of respiratory complaints
Our specialist team brings enormous expertise to diagnosing and treating all kinds of respiratory complaints, from persistent coughs and asthma, to complex breathing disorders, and sleep apnoea.
We offer support to patients with respiratory disorders. Our highly specialised team are fantastic at diagnosing and treating a number of lung complaints – ranging from the diagnosis of persistent coughs and asthma to complex breathing disorders like obstructive airways disease, emphysema, and bronchiectasis.
We’re particularly specialised in sleep apnoea, a condition which is becoming increasingly common. It can lead to more serious complications such as depression and impotence and has also been linked to cardiovascular disease. Diagnosis and treatment using the latest technology and techniques are available for both respiratory disease and sleep apnoea.
We perform:
- Spirometry tests
- Lung function tests
- Sleep apnoea studies
- Pulse oximetry monitoring
- Support for patients using continuous positive airways pressure machines
We support patients with:
- Asthma
- Chronic bronchitis
- Chronic obstructive airways disease
- Brochiectasis
- Emphysema
- Sleep apnoea
- Lung cancer screening
Sleep studies
Sleep Studies are performed over one night and can be either performed at home or in a hospital. Normally if you are worried about Obstructive Sleep Apnoea or Upper Airways Resistance Syndrome, then a study performed at home is all you need.
Our respiratory clinic is based in the heart of London
