Dr Hurt is a first-class consultant in her field. I’ve seen her a couple of times for respiratory issues and have always found her extremely thorough. On one occasion, she identified a finding on my chest X-ray that had been missed from GP — pneumonia and empyema — and referred me straight to A&E, where I was admitted for five days for intravenous antibiotics. More recently, she has been carefully investigating new lung symptoms and exploring how they may relate to my recent diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

I was mistaken impressed by Ms katharine Hurt A true professional- will stop at nothing to make sure she will get you on the road to recovery. Also what impressed me was her mantra - ‘We will make sure we get you well again’ Knowing what to say to a patient is most important- it’s the placebo effect- and gave me confidence- Thank you Ms Katharine Hurt Simone R.

Ms Hurt took over my chronic lung problem and made me feel very confident in her care plan. I had struggled for over a year attending numerous doctors visits.
