Welcome to the ILFA website

The IRISH LUNG FIBROSIS ASSOCIATION was founded in 2002.

RESEARCH

We promote and fund research into new and more effective treatments for Lung Fibrosis.

EDUCATION

We are working to increase public awareness about Lung Fibrosis and to educate healthcare professionals about the needs of patients who have this condition.

SUPPORT

Patients diagnosed with Lung Fibrosis face many challenges and ILFA supports those affected by providing information about the condition and the services available to them, their carers and their families. 

Point of Contact

ILFA's point of contact for patients and their families is LORNA MURPHY, a Pulmonary Fibrosis Nurse Specialist attached to Professor Jim Egan's team in the Mater Hospital in Dublin. 

Lorna can provide support and advice on all aspects of the illness and she is available to talk to all patients.

Lorna also assists with the on-going research that is being undertaken into new and more effective treatments for lung fibrosis.

She can be contacted at 01-7166391 or at 086 8715264.
