At the assessment, Dr Sanja Zivanovic, a paediatrician, or Ms Mireia Alcazar, a nurse, will ask the UKOS child do a series of lung function tests. This involves blowing in and out of a tube so we can determine the effort put into breathing and measure the size of the lungs. We also wish to do an allergy test. Below you will find some videos of a young person doing these tests, guided by Sanja and Mireia.
