Peak flow test
A peak flow test involves blowing as hard as you can into a small handheld device called a peak flow meter.
Visit the NHS website to find out more about the peak flow test.
We will ask you to measure your peak flow every day, every 2 hours for a month. This is so we can make an accurate diagnosis.
We will ask you to record your peak flow measurement on a peak flow diary. Your clinical team will give you more information on how to complete the form and how to send your results back to us.
Occupational lung disease covers a broad group of conditions caused by the inhalation of dusts, chemicals, or proteins.
Our Occupational Lung Disease service provides peak flow testing for patients referred to the clinic. We can also provide advice and guidance on how to complete the peak flow diary correctly.
