Flu can be a very serious illness and if you have a lung condition and catch flu, you’re more at risk of having an asthma attack or flare-up. Vaccines are one of the most important things that the NHS does to prevent illness and save lives. Book yours today.

This International Nurses Day, we would love to say a heartfelt thanks to all our wonderful nurses on the helpline💜 Our helpline team is trained to give you information on many aspects of living with a lung condition. You can contact our helpline on 0300 222 5800, Monday to Friday, between 9-5.
Text reads:
What is the best part of being a nurse?
What stands out for me is the sense of purpose. You can finish a shift knowing you genuinely helped someone.
Nursing isn’t just clinical tasks; it’s conversations, trust, and small acts of care that patients and families remember.
