Who is Dr. Suman Paul?
I’m Dr Suman Paul, a Consultant Respiratory Physician at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, where I lead the COPD services. With over a decade of specialist experience in respiratory medicine, I’m passionate about helping patients breathe easier and live better.
my approach
I believe in putting my patients first, taking time to listen to your concerns and explaining things in a way that’s easy to understand. Whether you’re struggling with breathlessness, a persistent cough, or need specialized respiratory care, I’ll work with you to find the most effective treatment plan.

I specialize in advanced diagnostic and treatment techniques for respiratory conditions. I perform minimally invasive procedures using the latest technology, including:
- Basic bronchoscopy and Biopsy (Camera test for your lung)

Having performed hundreds of these procedures, I understand not just the technical aspects, but also how to make the experience as comfortable as possible for my patients.
