Hullo and welcome, 1938. Could you ring your doctor or the hospital clinic. I didn't wait too long when I had mine done at Addenbrookes.

hi annie80. thanks for replying. have tried both but they pass the buck. Papworth think i might be asthmatic because my sister is.

The only thing you can do is ring the lung function department direct at Papworth and ask. They should be able to give you some indication.

I'm under Papworth and Addenbrrokes and find both extremely efficient with minimal waiting times.

Best of luck

I'm afraid I can't help with the waiting list question brinley, as I'm up t'North (where it's grim) but I do want to say welcome :) and wish you good luck !

Hi, I got to Papworth Hospital and you couldn't wish for better treatment and the staff are just wonderful. Give the Thoracic Outpatient Department a ring but I don't think you will have to wait too long although they are very busy. Good luck. Take care, Lizzy.
