The return of the Pulse Oximeter

Ever since we deleted the fingertip pulse oximeter from our range we have continued to take calls from many of you asking “why we no longer supply them” and “do we know anywhere you can buy one ?” After a lot of searching we are now happy to be able to announce that we have two splendid models available for you, both are reliable, accurate and come with a 3 year warranty. 
The PO 30 and the PO 80



The PO 30 is simple to operate and has an easy to read colour screen which you can rotate to 6 different views, with the added advantage of an adjustable brightness display. The automatic cut off switch helps to save battery life and the low battery indicator lets you know when its time for a change. Light enough at under 60 grams and small enough to pop in your pocket, the PO 30 comes complete with 2 AAA batteries, a lanyard and a handy belt pouch for if you are out and about. 

If feeling short of breath has become part and parcel of your daily life the PO 30 is smartly designed, useful and beneficial, wether you are buying it for yourself a friend or relative, a fingertip pulse oximeter could help to bring you peace of mind.

You can see just how useful and well design it is by clicking HERE and as always if you need to call us you can ring 01942 701210 or email by clicking HERE.

Complimentary Therapies and Nebulisers

We take calls many times a month from those of you who have spoken to practitioners of complimentary therapies and have been recommended a therapy via a nebuliser. As we have written previously we can certainly help you choose a nebuliser, have a chat about how it works and how it will fit into your lifestyle, but we don't have the knowledge base or expertise to discuss the suggested therapy and these are questions you must put to your practitioner. 


A nebuliser is a medical device and can have serious side effects, as could the medicine or therapy you choose to use in it. In the U.K. nebulisers and nebuliser medications are licensed and monitored by the
Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency

The British Lung Foundation have some really good advice about complimentary therapies which you can find HERE or you could have a chat in any of the forums on our useful links

We also get approached quite often by therapist themselves and although we have said no in the past, we feel in response to demand, its now time to set up a dedicated page for those of you who are interested. You can find their links and a little bit about their practice by clicking HERE, using the search facility, or the label on the right hand side of this page. If any therapist want to get back in touch about being added to the list you can email HERE

Fund raising for Nebulisers

Who says the British Public don’t know how to get behind a good cause. Not us that’s for sure.

This summer we have been approached more times than ever before by charitable groups such as Breathe Easy up and down the country, as well as individuals, who have taken part in lots fund raising activities all in order to raise a lump sum of money to purchase and donate a multiple number of nebulisers to their local hospital, hospice or community COPD team.

Many of the media headlines would have us believe that most of us are unhappy and dissatisfied with the treatment we receive from the N.H.S. Well not those of you we generally speak to. Of course all isn’t perfect but the main motivation of those fund raising  is to give something back for the care and attention they or a relative have received whilst unwell. And this summer you have been doing that in spades.

Well done. It warms our heart and when we are met with doubters and cynics you are always the first people we think of. We feel proud that we too have been able to help a little along the way even if its only to help make your hard earned funds stretch a little further.

Nebulisers, would you benefit?

Well what a difference a few weeks can make, it has turned from the coldest spring to what may become the hottest summer in a while.

If you are struggling with an exacerbation of your chest condition or having any difficulty breathing the first priority has to be to seek medical help from your G.P. Respiratory Nurse or Asthma Nurse. 

There is also plenty of hints and tips on how to manage in the heat on our kindred sprits websites as well as large communities of fellow sufferers who have developed their own coping strategies over the years which you may find useful. 

We have seen an increase in calls about nebulisers and for some, once you have been assessed by your medical professional, a nebuliser may provide vital relief but you do need that all important prescription first. As with our mucus clearance devices, although they don't need medicine there are contra indications and they aren't suitable for everyone. So its worth just asking a few questions before you invest in a nebuliser, shaker or flutter. 

If you get the go ahead, there is lots of information throughout this blog, you can view our full range HERE or for frequently asked questions and answers click here which will help you choose the product to fit your needs as well as lots of independent advice from our kindred spirits. 

In the meantime for those of you that can, relax and enjoy it and if you are struggling remember it won't last forever this is the U.K. after all !
