Community Respiratory Team (CRT)
In response to coronavirus, this service has made some changes – for updated service information click here.
Sefton Community Respiratory Teams provide a rapid access, specialist service, to help people with a diagnosed respiratory condition including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), Bronchiectasis and Asthma, to manage their condition and prevent exacerbation of their symptoms.
We offer a combination of 'Early Supported Discharge' from hospital services, and a 'Hospital at Home' hospital admittance avoidance service for our respiratory patients. We also offer optimisation reviews either in community clinics or at home for our housebound patients.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation classes are delivered in North and South Sefton, these combine education and exercise for respiratory patients in the area. These are delivered from Netherton Activity Centre and Lakeside Christian Centre twice a week.
Sefton Community Respiratory Team has a combination of Respiratory Specialist Nurses, Specialist Chest Physiotherapists and Assistant Practitioners who are supported by Respiratory Consultants. The team can provide comprehensive and specialist support for respiratory patients in Sefton.
