The Taskforce for Lung Health is a unique collaboration of patient representatives, health care professionals, professional bodies and other experts. Over 30 members have a shared vision for lung health; we want to transform care and treatment for patients and change the mortality rate for lung disease, which has barely improved in over a decade. An Industries Forum, which works alongside the Taskforce, includes representatives from the pharmaceutical, diagnostics, devices and digital industries.
Coming together for the first time in 2018, we developed a five-year plan to improve lung health in England. Our report makes vital, realistic recommendations to NHS England and other governing bodies about all aspects of lung health; from prevention and diagnosis right through to end of life care. Together, we’re giving people with lung disease a powerful voice.
