The Lung Health Promotion Centre at The Alfred

The Centre is committed to providing accessible, evidence-based, holistic education and support for health professionals. We believe this approach is essential to maintaining quality health care education. This empowers health professionals to promote self-management principles for people with chronic respiratory illness resulting in improved health outcomes.

2010 - The Year of the Lung

2010 has been declared The Year of the Lung. Promoted and supported by the major Respiratory Societies of the world, the campaign aims to raise awareness of the importance of lung health and generate social and political support for preventing and treating lung disease and encouraging more funding for lung disease research.

The Lung Health Promotion Centre at The Alfred is proud to be a partner of The Year of the Lung. We encourage you to see how you can be involved by taking up some of the activities and promoting a smokefree, lung healthier world. The excellent website www.yearofthelung.org gives you much information, fact sheets and also how you can get involved in World Spirometry Day on 14 October.
