New Children's Respiratory Service
A new children's respiratory testing service has been launched at Belfast's Royal Hospital for Sick Children.
The new state-of-the-art service, established by Prof Mike Shields, will be equipped with a range of specialist equipment, including a Jaeger MasterScreen system for measuring precisely how well children's lungs work.
Prof Shields has said that the value of the equipment that the unit will use will be the ability to monitor children's health in great detail.
£80,000 was provided for the service by Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke, who said that children and families across Northern Ireland would benefit from the new service.
