Colchester Hospital
We offer this service here, although some tests are performed at Papworth and surgery may be done at the specialist centres at Basildon or the Royal Brompton in London.
When we receive your referral, we decide which tests and investigations you need. We try to arrange for these tests to be performed before your clinic appointment so that we have all the information we need to make your treatment plan when we see you in clinic.
Please bring with you any inhalers that you use and a list of your current medications.
