What a powerful and humbling day today launching the #COPDVoices campaign. Patients and carers have spoken and we need to listen. Time to focus on getting early diagnosis, equitable access and management right. It’s a matter of life and breath.

As someone working in COPD research, I’m thrilled to be part of the the launch of COPD Voices: A Matter of Life & Breath.
Behind every stat, like “a COPD exacerbation every 20 seconds in the UK” is a real person, a real story.
It’s time to listen and push for change.
