Initial consultation with a Respiratory Consultant
A 30-minute consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any risk factors, such as smoking, occupational exposure, or family history of lung disease.
Diagnostic Tests
CT scan - A low-dose CT scan provides detailed images of your lungs to detect nodules, tumours, or early signs of disease. It's quick, painless, and uses minimal radiation.
Lung Function Tests - Simple breathing tests assess lung performance. Spirometry checks airflow and capacity, while a FeNO test detects airway inflammation. Reversibility testing may be done if inhalers are involved.
Follow-up consultation
Your Respiratory Consultant will review your results, explain any findings, and recommend next steps or treatments if needed. This may include lifestyle changes, further tests, or referrals to other specialists within The London Clinic.

A CT (computed tomography) scan uses X-rays to create detailed images of the inside of your body. The scanner is a doughnut-shaped ring, and you’ll lie on a table that moves through the ring to capture images. CT scans are excellent for showing soft tissue, air, fluid, bone, and blood vessels, making them ideal for detecting lung abnormalities.
