September marks Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) Awareness Month, a globally recognised awareness initiative aimed at raising awareness about the disease, its symptoms and the need for support.

Pulmonary - LUNG

Fibrosis - SCARRING

Idiopathic PF (IPF) refers to PF that develops because of an unknown cause.

•Thickening of the lower parts of the lung (alveoli)
•The lungs stiffen as a result of tissue scarring, making deep breathing more difficult
•Scar tissue reduces the amount of oxygen that leaves the lungs and enters the bloodstream
•Lung size and capacity is reduced

Having worked in the life sciences sector for many years before becoming a Member of Parliament, I have maintained my interest in the area with various parliamentary groups, including the chairmanship of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Medical Research.

Having worked with Cancer Research UK, I was delighted to celebrate their 20th anniversary and the amazing work they and their teams have done.
