Saint James Clinic Burmarrad

Our sleep clinic is run by a team of medical professionals specialised in treating a variety of sleeping disorders, which generally manifest as tiredness, foggy thinking and lack of energy during the day.

One of the most potentially serious sleep disorders is sleep apnoea, in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep and is accompanied by loud snoring. Our team can diagnose this condition and create a personalised treatment plan to start controlling this condition.

Asthma is a very common condition, locally effecting up to a fifth of certain sections of our population.

Typically, it can present with symptoms of shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing. Some symptoms can be less specific or clear and may make the diagnosis more challenging.

The symptoms which clients perceive with asthma can be vary from annoying to debilitating, making them lose precious time from family and work commitments.

At St James Clinic in Burmarrad, we have developed a team lead by doctors who are highly trained in the diagnosis and management of asthma.

With a variety of tests available, including breathing tests such as spirometry, which assess the passage of airflow in the lungs, possibly detecting obstruction due to asthma. We can also administer a nebulized airway dilator via a face mask to assess improvement in the results achieved with spirometry.

We are also introducing a state-of-the-art breath test for assessing inflammation in the lung called FeNO which can give further information on the health of the client’s airways.

Finally, our team of doctors and nurses will help clients in achieving the main goals of asthma management – namely optimizing the control of asthma symptoms while reducing the risk of asthma exacerbations and minimizing adverse effects.
