I’ve gone from being a nurse working in A+E to using home oxygen at 40 years old

Claire spent the first three years of her life in and out of hospital with bronchitis, pneumonia and then meningitis. Her health improved and she was able to pursue a career as an A&E nurse. But after a chest infection and COVID, she was put on home oxygen. Here she tells us how it affected her life.
