Conditions We Treat

 

We understand that nothing is more worrying than when your child is having trouble breathing or struggling with a persistent cough. The journey to a clear diagnosis can be stressful, and it's common for parents to feel anxious and in need of answers.

 

Our clinic, led by Associate Professor Julian Legg , specialises in providing a clear, calm, and thoughtful path forward. We combine national-level expertise with a dedicated, listening-focused approach to understand your child's unique needs.   

Our goal is to provide you with a prompt and comprehensive assessment, a clear diagnosis, and a practical management plan to help your child breathe easier.

We provide specialist consultation, diagnosis, and management for a wide range of paediatric respiratory conditions, including:

Asthma & Wheeze

Whether it's exercise-induced asthma, allergy-related wheezing, or a cough that only appears at night , we provide expert diagnosis (including 'Cough Variant Asthma') and create a personalised management plan to help your child live a full and active life.  

 

Persistent & Chronic Cough

A cough that lasts for weeks or months is a significant source of worry for parents and disruption for a child. We conduct thorough investigations to find the underlying cause—whether it's asthma, an infection, or another condition—to provide an effective treatment plan.   

Breathing Difficulties

This can be a frightening symptom for any parent to witness. We assess all forms of breathing problems, including shortness of breath, noisy breathing (stridor/wheeze), and issues related to paediatric sleep-disordered breathing.  

    

Chest Infections & Pneumonia

We help families manage the impact of recurrent chest infections, which can be a sign of an underlying issue. We offer specialist assessment to understand why your child may be susceptible and build a plan to support their long-term health.

Bronchiolitis

While common, bronchiolitis can be severe in some infants. We offer specialist follow-up and assessment for children who have experienced severe or recurrent episodes to ensure their long-term respiratory health.

  

Allergy-Related Respiratory Issues

Often, respiratory symptoms such as coughing or wheezing are linked to allergies. We work to identify these triggers as part of a comprehensive diagnostic approach.

Finding the cause of your child's symptoms is the first step to helping them feel better. If your child is experiencing any of these conditions, or you have concerns about their breathing, you don't have to wait and worry.

We are here to provide clear answers and a supportive, expert-led service.
