Pulmonary function testing
Full spirometry, lung volumes (body plethysmography) and gas transfer (TLCO) to characterise lung mechanics and gas exchange.
Tests & investigations
Comprehensive respiratory diagnostics, all on one site.
Same-site access to the full diagnostic pathway means a faster diagnosis and a clearer path to treatment. All investigations are performed by experienced respiratory physiologists and reported by Professor Smith.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)
Gold-standard assessment of unexplained breathlessness and exercise limitation, integrating cardiac, pulmonary and metabolic data.
Bronchial challenge testing
Methacholine and mannitol provocation testing to confirm or exclude asthma in difficult cases.
FeNO testing
Fractional exhaled nitric oxide to detect eosinophilic airway inflammation and guide treatment.
Sleep studies
Home respiratory polygraphy and in-laboratory polysomnography for suspected sleep-disordered breathing.
Imaging review
Specialist interpretation of CT and HRCT thorax with our consultant radiologists, with same-visit reporting where appropriate.
