How We Work

How to Refer

We are happy to see referrals from:

  • Occupational physicians
  • Respiratory physicians
  • General practitioners

Please include results and location of any previous imaging or lung function tests along with the referral.

You should send a written referral via email to referrals@occlung.ie

Post Referral

Once referral has been assessed and triaged, we will arrange a consultation in consulting rooms through the Mater Private Network in the Republic of Ireland and the Ulster Independent Clinic in Northern Ireland.

For any general queries please contact info@occlung.ie.

Additional Investigations

If additional investigations (eg further breathing tests or blood tests) are required these will be performed following agreement with the referrer in the Mater Private Network Pulmonary Investigations lab or the Ulster Independent Clinic

Reports and Outcomes

  • A full clinical report will be sent to the referring clinician with any advice/modifications being recommended where appropriate.
  • If a report is required for an employer, for patient confidentiality, only relevant details will be included rather than a full clinical report (which would be provided for a referring clinician)
  • If referred by an Occupational Physician, it is the occupational physician who will ultimately advise on work place modifications/adjustments and liaise with the employer.
  • Any clinical reports are to help get the worker back into the workplace or diagnose a condition which can then be assessed for potential return to work with adjustments/accommodations
  • If further clinical information is required, the client may need to sign a consent form to allow the release of previous clinical information such as breathing tests and blood tests
