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.

my expertise

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)
  • EBUS (Endobronchial ultrasound) Bronchoscopy
  • Pleural fluid drainage

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.

training & experience

My journey in respiratory medicine has taken me across continents, learning from world-leading institutions:

  • Trained in both India and the UK
  • Completed MBBS from Medical College, Kolkata, India
  • Completed specialist respiratory training in North-West England
  • Advanced interventional pulmonology fellowship in Italy
  • European Diploma in Adult Respiratory Medicine
  • Member of the Royal College of Physicians (UK)

beyond the clinic

I live in Warrington with my family and understand the impact that breathing difficulties can have on daily life. When not caring for patients, I'm passionate about medical education and run a YouTube channel sharing respiratory healthcare information and patient educational content.I also have a youtube channel for finance and investment related videos which is an area I am passionate about.
