In the UK, lung health care simply isn’t good enough.

Even before Covid-19, NHS hospital admissions for lung conditions were rising three times faster than average admissions.

Lung disease is now the third most common cause of death, costing the NHS more than £9 billion every year.

A+L UK is campaigning to make sure this issue is at the top of the health agenda. People living with lung conditions are often overlooked and left behind.

For some, just taking the first step and getting the correct diagnosis can be a real struggle. And even when they’re diagnosed, they’re not given the urgent care they need, when they need it most. A+L UK is fighting alongside anyone affected by lung conditions – and their voices, their stories and their experiences inform everything they do.
