Respiratory nursing support

First Community Health and Care

The respiratory team is a multidisciplinary group of specialist nurses and therapists who see patients with non malignant respiratory diseases such as:

  • chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • bronchiectasis
  • pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial lung disease
  • asthma

Patients are referred to the respiratory team through the GP, respiratory specialist or other health care professional. You can also self-refer into the service if you have a confirmed diagnosis and support from your GP.

A full range of services are available such as:

  • home visit for assessment
  • treatment and support following discharge from hospital
  • pulmonary rehabilitation classes held at Oxted and East Surrey Hospital
  • nurse-led assessment clinics at Caterham Dene Hospital
  • physiotherapist-led clinics at Oxted and Birchwood

This is an NHS service.
