With Evel Knievel among its famous sufferers, Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a very serious and ultimately fatal interstitial lung disease, killing more people in the UK than leukaemia.
However, many of us have never even heard of the condition let alone the severity of it meaning it is often spotted very late.
On this special live and interactive show, broadcast during World IPF week to raise awareness, we are joined by Dr Klaus Dugi (Medical Director, Boehringer Ingleheim UK and Ireland) and Steven Wibberley, (Chief Operating Officer, British Lung Foundation) as they educate us on how to spot the signs and symptoms in yourself and in other people, the importance of early diagnosis and treatment and enlighten us on everything you may not have known about IPF.
