Hospital clinic

[Sherlock11]

I wonder if anyone attends Lancashire Teaching Hospital Respiratory clinic and how do you find it. This is where I was referred to find out if I have any lung condition. I have had my HRCT and Lung Function Tests and am waiting for the results. I don't want details just an idea of what to expect, TIA.

@which one Chorley or Preston I’ve been at both?

[Sherlock11 in reply to Jack70]

I saw the consultant at Chorley.

[Jack70 in reply to Sherlock11]

Although both have faults I found Chorley better the doctors at Preston seem very disinterested to the point I want to be transferred back to Chorley. Being from Leyand, Chorley is also closer for me. However Chorley cancelled my appointment 3 times then discharged me for not turning up so you have to watch them and insist on being seen and don’t let them cancel appointments.

Thanks for your feedback, I originally went to Chorley as this was the earliest appointment. I could have gone to Preston and a few others. I thought all the consultants worked at both hospitals, so you wouldn't think there would be a difference, but maybe I'm wrong?

I go to royal preston but often have lft and some specialised bloods and HR CT scan at chorley- get sent to preston.

Are the consultants the same there? I saw Dr Salem, who seemed a nice chap, even my husband thought he had a nice manner and sense of humour.
