Spirometry & Pulmonary Function Test
Measuring How Well Your Lungs Work.
Measuring how much air you can breathe out, and how fast
Putting a Number on Your Breathing
Breathlessness is difficult to judge by description alone. Spirometry measures how much air you can breathe out and how quickly, turning a symptom into an objective figure that can be compared over time. It is central to diagnosing and monitoring asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other conditions affecting the airways.
A reliable result depends on good technique and careful coaching. Our Lung Function service focuses on:
Guided Testing
Staff who coach each breathing manoeuvre so the reading is accurate.
Objective Measurement
Results compared against expected values for age, height and sex.
Monitoring Over Time
Repeat testing that shows whether treatment is working.
Our Lung Function Services Include:
Spirometry
Measurement of the volume and speed of air you can breathe out.
Asthma Assessment
Testing to support the diagnosis and ongoing control of asthma.
COPD Assessment
Objective measurement of airflow obstruction in chronic lung disease.
Pre-Operative Lung Assessment
Breathing capacity checked before anaesthesia where surgery carries respiratory risk.
Breathing, Measured Properly
Lung function testing turns a vague complaint into a tracked measurement — so treatment can be adjusted on evidence rather than impression.
