Dr Julian Legg
Consultant Paediatric Respiratory Physician
Associate Professor of Paediatric Respiratory Medicine, University of Southampton
MB BChir (Cantab.) MA DM MRCP FRCPCH
With over two decades of consultant experience, Dr Legg specialises in providing expert care for children with respiratory problems — from wheeze, asthma and chronic cough to complex conditions like cystic fibrosis and long-term ventilation.
Alongside his NHS work at University Hospital Southampton, he offers private consultations for families seeking timely, thorough, and personalised assessment of their child’s breathing or lung health.
He takes pride in a calm, thoughtful approach — always listening carefully to parents, involving children in their care where appropriate, and explaining things clearly. His aim is not just to diagnose and treat, but to support your family with answers, reassurance, and practical solutions.
Whether you're concerned about persistent cough, noisy breathing, recurrent chest infections, or something more complex, he can help guide you to the right investigations and treatment.
Research & Teaching
Dr Legg leads research into paediatric respiratory medicine, including AI-driven diagnostics and cystic fibrosis care, and regularly contributes to national guidelines and professional training. He is also actively involved in medical education as an Associate Professor at the University of Southampton.
