Hi Denis, I have a brilliant nurse, who runs her own clinic at the hospital, being classed as a 'senior nurse specialist'. I far prefer appointments with her to the ones with my consultant as she is more approachable and very knowledgeable. And of course she is overseen by the consultant so it is best of both worlds!

Only today my pulmonary nurse put me down for a 6 weeks course on all things related to lung problems.It covers diet,breathing exercises and lots more.I find my pulmonary nurse is the best.I hadn't heard of these courses.I also go for a C Urea test on the 8th June and I am waiting for.an appointment to have a camera down my throat as the acid reflux is so bad, So hopefully things are moving along. mags x

Nurse led means the clinic is run by nurses and no consultants will be at the clinic but these nurses will specialise in what you are going for hope this helps
