Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis (lung scarring)

Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis (APF) is a national UK charity. We bring people together to drive change so more people affected by pulmonary fibrosis (or lung scarring) can live well for longer. People living with lung scarring, their loved ones and the professionals caring for them are at the heart of everything we do. 

We provide expert support, information, education, help a growing network of local support groups and raise awareness of pulmonary fibrosis. We collaborate to drive change that improves health and care and we provide vital resources to researchers, bringing hope for new and future treatments for this devastating disease.

Our nurse-led Support line is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and is available to anyone affected by pulmonary fibrosis.
