We are so happy to see a storyline on pulmonary fibrosis in Coronation Street in November 2019 (the storyline starts 11th November). Breathing Matters’ Medical Director, Professor Joanna Porter, was honoured to be asked to be medical advisor on this script so it should be authentic!
This is such a fantastic platform to showcase this devastating disease which is on the increase in the UK, and to raise much needed awareness and hopefully more investment in research for a cure and better treatments.
You can see a preview of the storyline here: https://www.itv.com/coronationstreet
Happy watching!
