Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis, the UK’s leading health and research charity for Pulmonary Fibrosis is seeking an inspiring CEO to lead strategic growth, advocate for patients, foster partnerships, drive fundraising, and shape innovative research initiatives, providing the visionary leadership to empower our community and transform care for those by pulmonary fibrosis.
Pulmonary fibrosis (lung scarring) describes a group of interstitial lung diseases where the lungs become progressively stiffer and smaller, eventually leading to low oxygen levels in the blood. Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) affects around 70,000 people in the UK. Progressive pulmonary fibrosis is a life-limiting disease.
