The new 10-year health plan is a significant milestone for the NHS, and we welcome the focus on tackling health inequalities and improving access to care. As ministers look to implement the plan, they must not forget about the 12 million people living with a lung condition.

Today is #WorldAsthmaDay! Summer isn’t always an easy season when you have a lung condition. Things like hay fever and hot weather can make breathing more difficult and stop you doing the things you love. This summer we want to inspire you with ways to achieve your goals ☀️

With temperatures rising in London this week, remember hot weather can cause lung conditions like asthma and COPD to get worse. ☀️ Find out how you can stay well with @asthmalunguk's tips on looking after your lungs in the heat: asthmaandlung.org.uk/living-with/ho…

What is the Tobacco and Vapes Bill? 🤔 Find out from our Senior Policy Officer, Laura, who explains what it is, what it means for people with lung conditions and what will happen next.

Wide variation in respiratory care across England is "not acceptable." The review by @asthmalunguk also reveals "absolutely shocking" standards of basic COPD and asthma care nationwide. @DrRJRussell @COPDdoc thelimbic.com/uk/respiratory…

Pulse has previously reported on the gaps in provision around the country – a problem that has worsened since the pandemic when many services stopped for infection control reasons buff.ly/4k6sSUp

Meet Kaylee, a PhD student at @ucl who won one of our travel awards last year to attend the @EuroRespSoc Congress. We are committed to funding #WomenInScience to further our understanding of lung research. Find out what she gets up to in her working day🧪#WomenInSTEM

Too many people don’t realise the risk wood burning stoves pose to their health. That’s why @asthmalunguk want to see more action to raise public awareness of the health risks of air pollution. telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…

Funding for lung health research is on life support - it's time to do things differently. It was great to work with @OpenAccessGov on what more we can all do. There is hope on the horizon if we properly fund research.

@_SarahSleet @BBCBreakfast @KingsCollegeLon This is great news but it’s appalling that this is the first new treatment that could be used for severe asthma and COPD in 50 years. This shows how desperately underfunded lung research is. orlo.uk/UCN4r

Our CEO @_SarahSleet was on @BBCBreakfast today responding to research from @KingsCollegeLon about a clinical trial that has found a new way of treating serious asthma and COPD attacks. This could be a game-changer for people with lung conditions.

Lung conditions are the leading cause of emergency hospital admissions and levels of basic care are on a downward trend - powerful words from @swoolnough at #BTSWinter2024

📢🧵Our @asthmalunguk new #AMissionForLungHealth report calls for urgent action from the government to prioritise lung health. Without this, more lives will be put at risk. Here's a deep dive on the data 👇

Today we launch our #AMissionForLungHealth report calling on the government to get lung health care right. Our latest analysis shows that breathing issues are the leading cause of all emergency admissions in England. orlo.uk/4k2mE

Respiratory issues are one of the most common reasons people attend Emergency Departments. This has been highlighted by new figures from @asthmalunguk, revealing there were 1.7 million admissions to hospitals in England last year for respiratory issues. Watch our Vice President, Dr Ian Higginson @RCEM_VP, responding to this alarming figure on @BBCBreakfast this morning 👇
