NHS Hospital Nebulisers

We often get requests from customers for the “the nebuliser they use in hospitals”

However there isn’t a standard model chosen by the NHS and having supplied, serviced and repaired hospital nebulisers for over 20 years we know it can vary quite widely. Hospitals, wards, clinics, specialist nurses and consultants have their own criteria which can be based on many different factors including the latest research, cost, suitability for purpose, performance capability and just which nebuliser may suit your individual needs.

Choosing the “same” unit for perhaps an elderly relative who is comforted by its  familiarity is a good decision but not necessarily the right decision for everyone.

We have blogged before about the important aspects to consider when choosing a nebuliser to be used at home. One size definitely doesn’t  fit all. A general all purpose unit that stacks easily on a shelf is not necessarily going to be the most suitable to allow you to continue going about your daily life, nor will it take you out and about. It may also be quite unsuitable for the medication you have been prescribed. It may need an annual service, and could prove quite costly if the spares and accessories aren’t fit for purpose or readily available. Check out the red clickable links in this blog to explore further.

So don’t forget to stop and think. Our frequently asked questions and other posts cover a wide range of questions you should consider before purchase. Your Respiratory Nurse may already have a specific nebuliser in mind which they feel will be beneficial to your treatment plan and our kindred spirits and useful links will be able to give you independent 

advice based on years of experience.

Manufactures continually upgrade their products and research into nebulisation is an on going process. Medications are reassessed, protocols change and many professionals strive to make a concerted effort to bring you the most effective treatment available, so that in the words of Trevor Clay, who was the founder of Breathe Easy, a General Secretary for the Royal College of Nursing as well as having Emphysema, “people should live with their lung condition” and not “suffer from it”
