What is Pulmonary Fibrosis?

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a serious lung condition that causes scarring of the lungs, making it progressively more difficult to breathe.

Although there is currently no cure, treatments, practical support and lifestyle changes can help people manage the condition and improve their quality of life. Understanding pulmonary fibrosis is the first step towards accessing the right information, support and care.

The Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust

Founded by people living with pulmonary fibrosis, we are dedicated to providing support, raising awareness and helping improve the lives of everyone affected by the condition. Learn more about our work, our mission and the impact we make together.
