Support line

If you are affected by pulmonary fibrosis we are here to help with information and support. Our telephone support service is for people living with pulmonary fibrosis, carers, family members and health and social care professionals.

Support line
01223 785 725

Is it an emergency or an urgent medical need?
Dial 111 for urgent health problems or 999 for emergencies.

For non-emergency matters, we offer access to our team who can provide:

  • information on pulmonary fibrosis
  • emotional and practical support
  • signposting to appropriate services
  • information about how APF can support
  • social, practical and financial information.

However, we cannot provide medical advice or treatment, or prescriptions – support with these matters will need to be provided by your existing healthcare professional teams.

How to make contact

Please call us on 01223 785 725 Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

Alternatively, you can email us on supportline@actionpf.org or you can request a call back by submitting the following form.
