LUNG FUNCTION TESTS
We use computerised lung function testing equipment. The test results are explained
to the individual being tested and where appropriate, advice is
given on procedures to follow to ensure continued good lung function
and identify people who may be at a higher risk in certain environments.
Subsequent tests are superimposed on the baseline allowing progressive
changes to be immediately identified and communicated to the individual
concerned.
Where appropriate a letter is sent with the Vitalograph printout
to the individuals GP outlining any abnormal findings thus facilitating
appropriate follow up as required.
