We see patients at inpatient and outpatient appointments for general chest complaints. We also see patients with more complex conditions in our specialist services.
Our services are available at the Freeman Hospital or the Royal Victoria Infirmary. Some of our services are very specialised, they may only be available at one hospital.
Both hospitals offer choose and book slots for general respiratory referrals. Therefore, you can choose to come to either hospital.

What will happen in clinic?
You may have some tests performed which may include having an X ray of your chest, a CT scan of your chest and /or breathing tests.
It is sometimes necessary to arrange a telescope examination of your chest. Your doctors will explain this to you if it is required.
Please remember to bring any medication and inhalers with you to your clinic appointment
