The Respiratory Integrated Care multidisciplinary team (MDT)
Clinic was set up in March 2024, consisting of a consultant,
clinical nurse specialists, a physiotherapist, physiologists,
candidate advanced nurse practitioner and administration staff.
The weekly consultant-led clinic enables patients with asthma
and COPD timely access to diagnostics and access to a
specialist team on the same day. This is aligned with
recommendations from the Integrated Care Programme for the
Prevention and management of Chronic Disease (2024).
