Spirometry (Lung Function Screening Test)

Spirometry is a simple, non-invasive test that measures how well your lungs are working. You will be asked to take a deep breath and then blow as hard and fast as possible into a device that measures the amount and speed of air you can exhale. This is repeated several times to ensure accurate results. The test usually takes around 15–20 minutes and does not involve needles or medication.

Results are typically available within Same day / 1 working day. The report will be created at the time but may need reviewing by our doctor before being released.

Healthy adults wishing to assess their lung health; individuals seeking a baseline lung function measurement; those interested in preventative health screening; smokers and former smokers; people exposed to dust, fumes or air pollution; individuals experiencing mild respiratory symptoms; those wishing to monitor lung function over time.

Breathlessness; persistent cough; wheezing; chest tightness; reduced exercise tolerance; difficulty taking a deep breath; unexplained breathing difficulties; recurrent respiratory symptoms; concerns about declining lung function.

Asthma (may indicate airflow obstruction but further testing is required for diagnosis); chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD – may suggest airflow obstruction, but post-bronchodilator spirometry is required to confirm diagnosis); possible restrictive lung disease (requires further lung function testing to confirm); reduced lung function; airflow limitation; smoking-related respiratory impairment; occupational respiratory disease (may indicate abnormalities but further assessment is required).
