About this specialty
This specialty combines pulmonary medicine with critical care: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension and pleural disease, together with bronchoscopy, pleural procedures, and the management of respiratory failure and critical illness.
Interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension are frequently diagnosed late, and are sometimes treated as asthma for years. Having your high-resolution chest CT and pulmonary function tests reviewed by a consultant who sees these conditions daily can change both the diagnosis and the treatment plan.
