Respiratory Medicine
Medical disciplines such as respiratory medicine or pulmonology specialise in the study and treatment of respiratory disorders and conditions. These may include diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), respiratory infections, and other pulmonary ailments. Clinicians and respiratory therapists play a crucial role in assessing, diagnosing, and managing respiratory conditions, employing various diagnostic techniques and therapeutic interventions to optimise respiratory function and promote overall pulmonary health.
