About me

He trained in Respiratory medicine in London, gaining a research fellowship at the Royal Brompton Hospital where he completed an MD doctoral degree within the National Heart and Lung Institute of Imperial College.

Dr Dakin sees patients with all aspects of Respiratory disease, including asthma, lung cancer, respiratory infection, persistent cough, tuberculosis, COPD (chronic bronchitis / emphysema), interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis.

Subspecialty areas of interest include interstitial lung disease / pulmonary fibrosis, asthma and COPD. Dr Dakin is also trained and experienced in Sleep Medicine and holds accreditation with the European Sleep Research Society as a Somnologist.
