Bronchiectasis Clinic

What is bronchiectasis?

Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition in which the airways of the lungs become permanently widened and damaged. This makes it harder to clear mucus, which can pool in the airways and lead to repeated chest infections, a persistent cough, and shortness of breath. Because it's ongoing, bronchiectasis benefits from a structured, specialist-led plan rather than treating each infection in isolation.

Our Bronchiectasis Clinic works to identify the underlying cause where possible, keep infections under control, and give you the tools to manage symptoms day to day.
