class=\"n8H08c UVNKR\">\n<li id=\"h.p_tuCKefDVToTq\" class=\"zfr3Q TYR86d\">The Airways Clinic is held in Clinic C, Orange Zone, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h.p_EUYLyfUwToTq\" class=\"zfr3Q JYVBee\">When is the Airways Clinic?<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"n8H08c UVNKR\">\n<li id=\"h.p_ELTnhYbqToTq\" class=\"zfr3Q TYR86d\">We hold the Airways Clinic once a month, usually on a Wednesday morning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h.p_FJdx-kNFToTq\" class=\"zfr3Q JYVBee\">What can I expect to happen at the Airways Clinic?<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"n8H08c UVNKR\">\n<li id=\"h.p_U0er8yIkToTq\" class=\"zfr3Q TYR86d\">A week or so before your appointment, we will send you out some questionnaires about you asthma and ask that these are completed and taken with you to your appointment<\/li>\n<li id=\"h.p_o-6O9NVLUcSn\" class=\"zfr3Q TYR86d\">After arriving at clinic and reporting to reception you may be sent for a chest x- ray<\/li>\n<li id=\"h.p_-F8BaObGUdd3\"

out<\/li>\n<li id=\"h.p_I0SHkOAqUjim\" class=\"zfr3Q TYR86d\">A nurse specialist: The specialist nurse will go over various aspects of your condition, check which medications you have been prescribed and ensure that you are taking these correctly<\/li>\n<li id=\"h.p_898_JM1rUk96\" class=\"zfr3Q TYR86d\">Our team psychologist: Many patients find it useful to speak about how asthma impacts on their life. Everyday emotions, our thoughts and how we approach things can directly affect our bodies and our breathing. It can also be very difficult to come to terms with having asthma. Distress can make it harder to manage physical difficulties. Our team psychologist can work with you to develop ways to better manage your asthma and your psychological wellbeing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"n8H08c UVNKR\">\n<li id=\"h.p_P5NT-rFqUnGt\" class=\"zfr3Q TYR86d\">After you have been seen by the various team members, you might be asked for a blood sample.<\/li>\n<li id=\"h.p_7Xjj2VahUo-B\" class=\"zfr3Q TYR86d\">Your appointment at the Airways Clinic may take up to 2 hours, so we suggest you take a good book!!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h.p_UHJVd4y6ToT6\" class=\"zfr3Q JYVBee\">Useful asthma links<\/h2>\n<p id=\"h.p_JhjS_PJrToT6\" class=\"zfr3Q\">Click <a class=\"dhtgD\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aberdeenlungs.com\/for-patients\/asthma\">here<\/a> for more information about asthma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who are we?
