Alan L. James is a pulmonologist based at Level 5, Hospital Avenue, Nedlands, WA 6009, Australia.
In day to day practice, Alan looks after people with ongoing breathing issues and airway problems. That can include asthma, breathing flares, and long term lung conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Over time, breathing symptoms can change, so care is often about getting the pattern right and helping people feel more steady day to day.
Many patients also have asthma linked to eosinophils, such as eosinophilic asthma and chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. At times, there are broader immune and allergy related conditions that can affect the lungs, including hypereosinophilic syndrome and simple pulmonary eosinophilia. There can also be overlap with allergic rhinitis, where nose and airway symptoms move together.
Breathing problems don’t always sit only in the lungs. Alan may also help when there are connected issues like obesity, reflux disease (GERD), or sleep breathing problems such as obstructive sleep apnoea. With sleep apnoea, it’s common for people to feel tired in the day, and getting the right plan can make a big difference to how someone feels overall.
Alan treats asthma in children as well as adults. Children’s breathing problems can be tricky, especially when symptoms come and go. The focus is usually on making things easier to manage at home, while also keeping an eye on what’s happening in the long run.
There are also less common conditions that can involve the chest and lungs, such as mesothelioma and systemic mastocytosis. Some people are referred because symptoms like stridor need careful checking, or because there are complex inflammation patterns that don’t fit the usual picture.
At the moment, details about education, work history, and research activity aren’t listed here. Clinical trial involvement isn’t shown in the available information either.
If you’re looking for a clinician for lung and breathing care in Nedlands, Alan’s practice covers a wide range of airway and lung conditions, from everyday asthma and bronchitis to longer-term respiratory problems and sleep apnoea.
