Occupational Lung Disease: how to spot it and when to refer

Respiratory Skills Theatre

You are the key to getting to a diagnosis of occupational lung disease early. Workers have a much better prognosis if the cause of their disease can be removed within a year of the first symptom. It's a simple question that needs to be added to the clinical history: "does your breathing feel better away from work or on holidays" This can then be the key to finding a cause and removal of that cause, which may lead to resolution of symptoms and a halt to disease progression.
