Do you have personal experience of pulmonary fibrosis and want to use your voice to shape change? Or are you a healthcare professional who wants to use your expertise to create real, national impact?

Two trustee vacancies. Expenses paid.

As a Trustee, you will help ensure that lived experience shapes our decisions, priorities and culture, influencing how we design services, set direction and deliver meaningful change.
