Thank you to everyone who attended the BLF's recent meeting on IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) in Leeds on 26 September. 82 people registered for the event and 62 peope attended which, considering the weather and flooding in the region, was a remarkable attendance. Delegates (people with IPF, their family and friends, and health professionals) listened to presentations by Dr Gisli Jenkins (Nottingham), Dr Paul Beirne (Leeds), Caroline Stevens (BLF Chief Operating Officer) and Mark Pilling (BLF Helpline Manager) who gave excellent information on the condition and management. Copies of their presentations can be found on the BLF website - blf.org.uk/News/Detail/IPF-...
