‍Keeping well this winter
During the colder months, there might be a higher risk of catching coughs and colds when meeting face-to-face. If you're concerned about this, please speak to the group leader for information about how group members are keeping in touch, and how the group manages infection risk.

Read more about managing pulmonary fibrosis in cold weather.

Our support group includes patients, their loved ones and anyone affected by Pulmonary Fibrosis.  We have a wealth of shared experiences and knowledge about living with PF.  We can offer support, advice and more importantly a friendly, relaxed & informal environment to talk about PF or other ILDs.

 

We operate with the full support of our local NHS Health Care Professionals and have close relationships with the Respiratory Team, Palliative Care Teams, Oxygen Service and other support and care services. All of whom regularly attend our meetings.

If you feel you would like to attend you just need to turn up, everyone is made welcome, please come along for a chat.
