SARCOIDOSIS CONSULTANT DIRECTORY
Instructions to Use the Directory
Click the red pins on the map to find details of sarcoidosis consultants in your area. Use the external links in the pop-up boxes to find consultant contact details and more information about referrals. You can use the ‘Search’ function above the map to help narrow down your search.
- Search by ‘address’: Use a UK postcode, town or city.
- Search by ‘consultant name/organ etc.’: Search for a specific keyword. Tip: Try using alternative words, for instance search ‘pulmonary’ and ‘respiratory’ as well as ‘lung’.
- Radius: Adjust the search radius (miles) to find consultants near you. The radius function will only work if you have entered an address. Tip: To search the whole of the UK, select 500 miles.
- Reset: This resets all the search options.
- Zoom: Use the plus and minus buttons at the bottom right of the map to zoom in and out of the map.
- Full screen: Use the square button at the top right of the map to make the map full-screen. The same button then reduces the map back to normal size.
Are the Consultants Sarcoidosis Specialists or Respiratory Specialists?
Most consultants included in the directory specialise in respiratory medicine because about 90% of sarcoidosis cases involve the lungs. Because of the rarity and multi-system nature of sarcoidosis (and the way the UK healthcare system is organised), consultants who specialise only in sarcoidosis and treat multiple types of sarcoidosis are few and far between. Therefore if sarcoidosis seriously affects more than one part of your body you may need referrals to multiple specialists.
How Does SarcoidosisUK Decide Which Consultants to Include in the Directory?
We have included consultants who have been highly recommended to us by sarcoidosis patients and who we have checked and verified.
If your consultant is not on the list and you think they should be added, we would love to hear from you. Please send their name and hospital in an email to us.
If you are a consultant and would like to be listed, please get in touch.

Sarcoidosis is one of the most common interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Many of the sarcoidosis specialists in the directory above will work within, or closely with, ILD services in their NHS trust. Below is a list of key ILD centres across the UK.
The list is based on 1) Asthma + Lung UK data, 2) NHS England ILD Specialist Service Policy and 3) SarcoidosisUK knowledge and contacts.
