Asthma and COPD clinics are held for our patients who have been diagnosed with breathing difficulties or respiratory disease. There are over 5.4 million people diagnosed with asthma in the UK. Asthma can be triggered by a variety of factors and can affect a person at any age in their life.

Due to advances in medicine, asthma can be a very manageable disease. It is essential however that patients diagnosed are seen annually by Nurse Practitioner Norma Bushby, who will undertake a variety of tests such as a ‘spirometry test’ which measures the way in which you are breathing.
