Private Lung Function Test London
OneWelbeck provides a range of private lung function testing available in London. Lung function testing measures how well your lungs work, potentially diagnosing and monitoring for lung disease. Self-pay pricing: Spirometry - £165, Feno - £121.
Why should I take a lung function test in London?
There are several reasons for performing these tests such as to help make a diagnosis and to quantify the degree of lung damage.
If you've been having breathing problems.
If you have symptoms, or if your doctor feels you're at an increased risk of developing a particular lung condition.
To assess the progress of your existing breathing condition by comparing these tests with previous results.
To see how your breathing condition improves with different treatments and to help assess fitness before surgery.
Are there any risks to lung function testing?
There is naturally some concern about undertaking lung function and the spread of COVID-19. For this reason, strict protocols must be in place regarding which patients we test and use the right personal protective equipment (PPE) for our staff. All our testing rooms have more than the required 16 air changes per hour which allows us to continue functioning at almost normal throughput. All equipment is cleaned and allowed to dry between patients with chlorine-based solution.
Lung function testing and COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented considerable challenges to global health services and dictates almost every aspect of medical practice and policy. Lung function has never been a more critical test than at this current time. COVID-19 is primarily a respiratory illness causing pneumonia. Fortunately, in most cases it resolves completely, but it may take some time, and, in some cases, additional treatments are needed. Lung function is a key investigation to help find out if your lungs are suffering from the aftermath of COVID-19 infection.
Here, at OneWelbeck Lung health we are still offering a full quota of comprehensive diagnostic tests such as full Lung Function, FeNO, Reversibility and Cardio-Pulmonary Exercise testing. We recognise that we offer a critical service to help alleviate the serious capacity strain within the NHS and aim to support patients by providing access to essential diagnostic testing, procedures, and surgery. As always, we will continue with our stringent infection control measures, ensuring the safety of our patients and staff attending OneWelbeck.
