e hold clinics for sufferers from asthma and chronic obstructive airways disease (Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema)
These clinics are nurse-led with further help by the doctors. They are designed to monitor and improve the care of your breathing problems, with advice on inhaler technique and medication dosing and timing, as well as stopping smoking. The Nurses also carry out regular spirometry tests on these patients
Our nurses now also run a special smoking cessation clinic to help you quit the demon weed. Nicotine replacement and Zyban are available to NHS patients attending this clinic. Stopping smoking it the biggest single thing that anyone can do to improve their symptoms of COPD. |
