We’re inviting GPs and practice nurses to take part in a short qualitative interview as part of the London Asthma Diagnostics Study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT06383130).

This study is evaluating whether a triple diagnostic approach combining oscillometry with FeNO and spirometry with reversibility testing — can improve the diagnostic accuracy of adult asthma in real-world settings. Oscillometry is a quick, effort-independent lung function test that uses normal tidal breathing and may be more sensitive to small airways disease.

We’re keen to hear your views on:

• Current challenges in diagnosing asthma in primary care
• Your experience with diagnostic tools
• Thoughts on oscillometry, its result report, and how it might fit into existing workflows

Your insights will help assess the feasibility of using oscillometry in frontline asthma diagnosis. The session would comprise of a short demonstration of the device and the report output, and a Teams/Zoom interview which would last around 45 minutes – 1 hour. All responses will be anonymised.

If you’re interested in taking part or would like to know more, please get in touch by emailing Dr Eleanor Quek at e.quek@imperial.ac.uk
