Adult Respiratory Long Term Monitoring Service
The adult respiratory long term monitoring service is a specialist service for survivors who were in Grenfell Tower on the night of the fire and may have been exposed to smoke and dust. The service provides an annual check of lung and breathing functions, with the aim of preventing or early diagnosis of respiratory health conditions; as well as effective follow-up treatment for those with respiratory diseases.
The service also plays a part in the overall health monitoring of survivors who were in the tower, by reviewing the numbers of people with respiratory conditions and comparing this to the prevalence of those conditions in the general population.
