IPF Week

15-23 September 2018

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is more common than we thought. Around 32,500 people across the UK have it and approximately 7,800 people are diagnosed with it each year.

We urgently need more research into causes, treatments and a cure, and improvements to care and support of IPF. You can help make a difference by donating towards IPF research.
