So proud of Prof Lindell, who's giving the first Dan Rose Memorial Lecture at #ICLAF2024 - Dan was an amazing patient advocate who created the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation and single-handedly transformed Pulmonary Fibrosis patient support & advocacy. Well deserved, Kathy!!!

C’mon BA. First you delay our flight yesterday from Corfu from 1440 to 1900. Then the captain says he has run out of hours and we have to find hotels for the night with a new dep at 0930 today. Now you have delayed further to 12.45. What a joke! @British_Airways @SimonCalder

British media reports veteran BBC DJ Johnnie Walker @piratejw has advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Our thoughts are with you Johnnie and your family at this difficult time & with the thousands of other people living with this devastating disease. @ActionPFcharity #curePF

Discuss organ donation with your family NOW. In UK it’s their decision if you die - not yours
The law around organ donation changed in England on 20 May 2020 to an opt-out system. 8/10 people say they would consider donating their organs, but only 1:3 have told their family. Have the conversation now and register your decision bit.ly/2X4rlWs #OrganDonation

'Collaboration is the greatest asset we have in stopping #PF. Together, we're forging a path towards a future where people are diagnosed quicker, have fast access to effective treatments, and can get all the support services they need, no matter where you live.' - @BradleyJPrice
We would like to thank @Ferrer, @Vicore and @PliantRX for supporting us to organize the European PF Patient Summit. Together, we've united patients, caregivers, advocates, and HCPs for an engaging event discussing the present and future of Pulmonary Fibrosis. #PFSUMMIT24

Three parallel workshops on different topics – on #Oxygen access in Europe, on the role of patients in the design of #clinicaltrials trials, and on fundamental aspects of the organ of the lungs. Which workshop did you choose? #PFSUMMIT24 #PulmonaryFibrosis
