We provide expert assessment of people with bronchiectasis including: CT imaging of chest and sinuses; detailed microbiological evaluation; in-depth analysis of the immune system and screening for genetic conditions such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).
Our approach to treatment involves:
• Optimisation of airway clearance
