Conditions
What we see most
Four conditions account for most of what walks through the door. Each one has a page explaining what it is, how it is measured and what treatment actually involves.
Asthma
Asthma narrows the airways on and off rather than for good, which is why it can be controlled so well. The aim is no night-time symptoms, no limits on what you do, and a reliever you rarely reach for.

COPD is airflow obstruction that does not fully reverse. It cannot be undone, but how fast it progresses is very much open to change, and breathlessness responds to treatment far more than most people expect.

Loud snoring with pauses, and waking unrefreshed however long you slept, is the pattern of obstructive sleep apnoea. It is common, it is easy to measure, and treating it changes how people feel within days.

Most coughs clear within two or three weeks. One that carries on has a cause, and in the great majority of people it is findable and treatable. Cough syrup is not the answer to it.
