We provide lung function or breathing tests for people with breathing problems.
We offer a variety of lung function tests, including exercise tests.
We see people from across England.
We have 2 lung function laboratories, one at Guy's Hospital and St Thomas' Hospital.
We also support clinics for people with:

Our team is made up of physiologists. They're responsible for diagnosing conditions.
We're experienced at testing people with a wide variety of conditions.
