We’re here for you too. We know how valuable your work is to people affected by pulmonary fibrosis (lung scarring), and we want to support you.

Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis is a patient-driven charity. We’re working to support people affected by pulmonary fibrosis, raise awareness, fund research, and improve access to the highest quality care through campaigning and education.

Working with our healthcare professional networks across the UK, we’re making fundamental changes in healthcare to help you help your patients. We also offer support and resources for your patients, their families and carers to help you get the most from your clinical time.

This section is for you if you're a health professional working in any setting with people affected by pulmonary fibrosis.
