Great work from IPPR showing how poor work and poor health conspire to make lives difficult for those in the poorest parts of the UK.

Occupational ILD can be found in all types of ILD. Don't forget to ask about work. Better prognosis, disease management, benefits and there may be others at work. Also applies to asthma! #BTS @gwocclung Chris Huntley Jo Feary Ruth Wiggans

I was reminded of the NHS' 76th birthday this week so sharing the article I wrote for its 70th cost-ofliving.net/the-nhs-at-70-… Sadly not much has changed. #HostileEnvironment practices harm & we continue to demand universal, non-discriminatory care. Join us patientsnotpassports.co.uk

Really thought-provoking session on ethics&practicalities associated with race-based interpretation of lung function. Key messages: using absolute thresholds is reductive, understanding ‘normal’, focussing on the grey zones and the need to do better for our patients #ERSCongress

Great day at #ERSCongress today and proud to present more data from Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health #SWORD scheme on occupational HP. Loads of discussion. Looking forward to next few days.

Wednesday seems to be occupational ILD day at #BTSWinter2024 where we have three great sessions before midday hearing from experts Jo Feary Ruth Wiggans @gwocclung and many others. Much more needs to be done to prevent and identify these diseases
