I have been diagnosed with Sarcoidosis for 20 plus years now. And over all the years of consultations with numerous Doctors and Consultants I have found Dr Chaudhuri to be very polite, puts me at ease and very professional in her role in dealing with Respiratory and Lung Disease.
On my first appointment with Dr Chaudhuri she had read my complete history with reference to the Sarcoidosis including the paper notes. This gave me great confidence and someone who has total interest in their patients.
I really look forward to meeting Dr Chaudhuri as she explains everything to me in plain language and welcomes any questions that I may have.
Well done Dr Chaudhuri and Thank you for everything that you have done for me.

My family and I met Dr Chaudhuri whilst my grandmother was admitted under her care at Wythenshawe hospital. Dr Chaudhuri had a professional and warm approach from our first encounter. Her medical expertise especially in dealing with my grandmother’s difficult to control chronic lung condition was invaluable. She listened to our family’s concerns and was extremely approachable. She was able to communicate clearly and empowered us with the explanations and information needed to make informed decisions regarding my grandmothers care. Dr Chaudhuri went above and beyond to make my grandmother feel comfortable and well cared for during her stay. We are so grateful for her time and are indebted to her for taking care of us all during a challenging time. She is an exemplary clinician. Thank you!

My experience of the IPF trial systems leaves a lot to be desired.
18 months ago I received a letter suggesting I phone two separate numbers concerning new IPF trials. This I did and both respondents said they would be back in touch later with further information. Neither did.
6 months ago the doctor I saw on one of my regular visits suggested the Atlas trial that was being run and contacted them with my details. I received details of the trials with information that I had been accepted but needed to phone confirming my acceptance. When I did this the following day I was told the acceptance list was now full and I was not included.
Does this indicate that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing ???

I apologise for your experience with the trials unit - Unfortunately we do have limited capacity regarding patient numbers of trials and sometimes they can get their maximum numbers in the time the doctor has spoken to you about the trial and the time you have had to read and digest the information. I'm afraid the inclusion for trials is very complicated and there isnt any guarantee that you would meet the criteria and i apologise that wasnt explained to you. I am more than happy to discuss with you directly if you contact my secretary and leave your details

when I was first diagnosed I felt very alone and uncertain of my future, I was being seen by a very nice consultant but I felt that nothing was being done. I was eventually referred to the ILD clinic at Wythenshawe and was seen by Dr. Chaudhuri since then I have total faith that I am getting the best care possible, she listens to what I and my family say and always has the right answers for us. As I live quite a way from Wythenshawe she arranged for me to see her at Manchester Royal where she runs a weekly clinic and is more convenient for me to get to, this is the kind of thoughtful thing she does. She is very caring and knowledgeable, she also is willing to give her time to the support group I attend. She has visited us a couple of times and nothing is too much trouble for her. Since lockdown she has organised zoom meetings with her department and patients and also joins in with our local support group zoom meetings. I can not praise her highly enough.

ZOOM SUPPORT GROUP - this goup is run by the ILD team from Wythenshawe hospital, the staff regularly hold these meeting for their patients and they are extremely helpful. We are able to discuss with the team and other group members and fears and concerns we have during this horrible period of Covid19 shielding. If they are unable to answer our questions immediately they will check up on the answer and let us know. Its very reassuring that the team are thinking and caring about us in these uncertain times. I believe that Wythenshawe ILD team is the best in the country and cannot praise them highly enough. Dr Chaudhuri in particular is extemely caring and is an excellent doctor.
