NSHI Supports Love Your Lungs Week
This year, National Services for Health Improvement (NSHI Ltd.) is proud to support Love Your Lungs Week, led by Asthma + Lung UK, helping to raise awareness of the importance of good lung health and the challenges faced by those living with respiratory conditions.
Lung health impacts millions of people across the UK, yet respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD continue to be under recognised and underfunded. Over the last decade, outcomes for people living with lung conditions have improved far less than those seen in other major disease areas, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Why this initiative is so important
Did you know?
- One in five people will develop a lung condition during their lifetime.
- Lung conditions are the third leading cause of death in the UK.
- The UK continues to have the highest death rate from lung disease in Europe.
At NSHI, we understand that raising awareness and improving access to care has never been more important. Through our clinical review services, our specialist nursing teams work alongside patients and healthcare professionals to support better respiratory outcomes, improve access to specialist care, and help people manage their symptoms more effectively.
However, there is still much more to be done. That’s why we are proud to support this important campaign and encourage everyone across the business to get involved.
Throughout the week, colleagues will be taking part in our Love Your Lungs Bingo Challenge, featuring a range of fun and simple activities focused on lung health, wellbeing, physical activity, and spending time outdoors. To round off the week, we will also be hosting a coastal walk in Norfolk, giving staff the opportunity to come together, enjoy some fresh air, and get active.
Alongside raising awareness, we are also supporting Asthma + Lung UK through fundraising efforts, and we have joined their community of corporate supporters. Donations can be made via our JustGiving page.
We look forward to seeing colleagues get involved, support this fantastic cause, and take positive steps towards improving lung health for everyone.
