Calling Asthmatics - UK Class 2 and Asmtha (Bronchial Test Required)

Hi,

Posted in "Medical" last week, but thought I might get a better response here, as I'm now looking to any Class 2 Asthmatic Pilots for where they went for their Bronchial Test as I surely can't be the first!

Originally got my initial class 2 back in Jan 2013. BUT the AME did not request Spirometry or Bronchial Reactivity Test, so I was issued with paperwork and went on my way. I am now 42 so it is renewal time, and different AME is now requesting them as they weren't done originally.

Spirometry test completed free of charge at my GP's.

AME referred me back to my GP for them to refer me for a "Bronchial Test", but they simply said I need to find it myself.

So, I have rung a respiratory consultant in Leeds, where the initial consultation fee is £205 then the tests would be extra!

I was wondering whether it is possible just to go straight to the tests, either the 6 min free running OR the chemical test?
