What is the Council of Healthcare Professionals?
The primary purpose of Asthma + Lung UK’s Council of Healthcare Professionals is to help develop policy recommendations and increase our chances of successfully influencing how NHS services are delivered for people with lung disease.
By pooling their knowledge, experience and expertise, members of the council are able to advise Asthma + Lung UK on lung health issues including NHS treatment, best clinical practice, emerging technologies and therapies, and help shape Asthma + Lung UK’s policy work.

- Provide intelligence and clinical perspective to inform priority setting and influencing work.
- Input into operational plans and advise on approaches to delivery.
- Provide feedback and clinical support across projects.
- Advise on responses to national consultation and reviews.
- Act as spokespeople for the charity within the media.
