Welcome to our Spirometry Service
We provide a mobile spirometry service to GP sites across England (Provider ID: 1-18679752531). This new registration marks a significant milestone in our commitment to enhancing respiratory care and supporting primary care providers in delivering high-quality spirometry services.
Our mobile spirometry service brings high-quality respiratory assessments directly to GP and community settings, offering convenient, on-site lung function testing. Designed to support patients and to reduce the burden on clinic-based testing, our service features state-of-the-art spirometry equipment operated by certified respiratory professionals. Each assessment includes comprehensive lung function measurements, with results analysed promptly and delivered through secure platforms for seamless integration into patient records. Our mobile service adheres to the latest clinical standards, ensuring reliable, accurate testing with minimal disruption to patient schedules.
Supporting Primary Care with Comprehensive Spirometry Services
Our CQC registration comes at a pivotal time, following recent guidance from NHS England emphasising the importance of commissioning spirometry services within primary care. According to the latest recommendations, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) should not solely rely on community diagnostic centres but should also ensure spirometry services are accessible through individual GP surgeries, groups of GPs, or community settings. This approach aims to reduce unnecessary referrals to secondary care and address the patchy provision of lung condition testing that has been a concern for many years.
Optimum Patient Care is well-positioned to support these efforts and improve access to essential respiratory diagnostics.
Enhancing Spirometry Services with Additional Support
In addition to our spirometry services, we offer the following support to ensure comprehensive respiratory care:
-
Identifying Patients in Need of Spirometry: We utilise EMR data reviews to identify patients who require spirometry to achieve Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) targets.
-
Identifying High-Risk COPD Patients: Following the CONQUEST Quality Standards, we identify high-risk COPD patients who would benefit from spirometry to evaluate their symptoms. [Link: CONQUEST | OPC Global]
-
Specialist Review and Diagnostic Interpretation: We provide options for specialist review, diagnostic interpretation of spirometry results, and management considerations ensuring accurate and timely diagnoses.
Together, we can ensure that high-quality spirometry services are accessible to all patients in need.
