What is Respiratory Medicine?
Respiratory medicine is the branch of healthcare that focuses on the lungs, airways and breathing system. It covers the assessment, investigation and management of symptoms such as breathlessness, persistent cough, wheezing and other signs of respiratory dysfunction. Specialist respiratory care can help you understand the cause of your symptoms and agree a treatment or management plan that is appropriate for your condition.Spire Healthcare

Our Respiratory Consultations
New Patient Respiratory Review
During a first appointment, our respiratory specialist will take a detailed clinical history and assess your symptoms. This may involve discussion of your breathlessness, cough patterns, lifestyle factors, previous investigations or treatments and any relevant medical history. The clinician will then recommend appropriate next steps, which may include diagnostic tests or management planning.
Follow-Up and Monitoring
Follow-up appointments are available for patients with diagnosed respiratory conditions or ongoing symptoms that require monitoring. These consultations allow your clinician to review progress, interpret test results and adapt your care plan as necessary.
Diagnostic Support
Our respiratory service can arrange or recommend suitable investigations to support accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Common diagnostic elements include lung function testing and other respiratory assessments. These tests help clinicians understand how well your lungs are working and guide the selection of the most effective treatments.

New Patient Appointment
A first outpatient appointment within our Respiratory Medicine service provides a comprehensive assessment of any breathing or lung-related concerns. During this consultation, our specialist will take a detailed medical history, review any previous investigations and carry out an appropriate clinical examination. Further tests such as spirometry, imaging or blood tests may be arranged if required to support diagnosis and treatment planning.
This appointment is designed to give patients a clear understanding of their respiratory health and establish an individualised management plan. It ensures timely access to expert clinical review within a modern and supportive environment.
Follow Up Appointment
A follow-up appointment within our Respiratory Medicine service provides continued specialist oversight for patients with ongoing or long-term respiratory conditions. During this review, the clinician will assess symptoms, evaluate response to treatment, review any recent investigations and adjust the management plan as needed.
This appointment ensures safe, consistent monitoring of respiratory health, supports optimal disease control and offers patients the opportunity to discuss any concerns or changes in their condition.
Lung Function Testing
Our Lung Function Testing service provides accurate, specialist assessment of how well a patient’s lungs are working. Tests such as spirometry and other breathing assessments are performed by trained clinicians to measure airflow, lung capacity and respiratory efficiency.
These tests support the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as asthma, COPD and other respiratory disorders. Results are reviewed by our respiratory specialists to inform personalised treatment plans and ongoing clinical management.
