In addition, we assist primary care physicians to optimise management of the following lung diseases:

  • Bronchiectasis
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Interstitial lung disease
  • Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)
  • Pleural effusion
  • Pneumonia
  • Pneumothorax
  • Pulmonary tuberculosis

Our Lung Function Laboratory provides a comprehensive range of diagnostic services:

  • Spirometry and flow loops
  • Lung volumes
  • Transfer factor
  • Bronchoprovocation test
  • Cardiopulmonary exercise test

Our Sleep Laboratory provides Sleep Medicine services such as:

  • In-lab sleep study
  • CPAP titration study
  • Multiple sleep latency testing

We perform the following procedures for inpatients and outpatients where appropriate:

  • Flexible bronchoscopy and appropriate biopsy, lavage, brushings
  • Pleural aspiration and drainage

We work closely with our physiotherapy colleagues to provide pulmonary rehabilitation programmes and our pharmacists who run smoking cessation programmes. In addition, we support our colleagues in Intensive Care Medicine through the management of critically ill patients who are on mechanical ventilation and NIV.
