Every 5 minutes, someone dies from a lung condition in the UK. And yet there’s a lack of political will to fund the research that could save these lives. Today, the Lung Research and Innovation Group have set out 10 priorities the government needs to take seriously to fix the lung research pipeline and fix the nation’s lung health. If the government and other key stakeholders invest in the 10 respiratory research priorities outlined in this report, we will, address the largest driver of winter pressures in the NHS, make huge savings for the healthcare system, and serve the needs of the 12 million people in the UK who will develop a lung condition during their lifetime. The Lung Research and Innovation Group is a national group of patient advocacy charities, expert organisations and leading researchers determined to drive progress in respiratory research and innovation.

#AirPollution is the number one health risk to humankind, with EPIC’s Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) showing that the burden of pollution on life expectancy outstrips that of malaria, HIV/AIDS and transportation injuries combined. While research shows that installing #AirQuality monitors and sharing real-time data with the public in places with very little or no data leads to cleaner air, nearly 40% of countries—many of which satellite data shows are highly polluted—aren’t producing open air quality data for their citizens. Through a $1.5M gift from Open Philanthropy, the EPIC Air Quality Fund will support local groups and organizations in installing monitors and providing open data to communities that could benefit the most. On July 31 (6am ET | 12pm CET | 3:30pm IST), join EPIC’s Clean Air Program director Christa Hasenkopf and the EPIC Air Quality Fund project manager, Farah Kazi, for an introduction to the Fund and its application process.

Celebrating National Public Health Week: A Preventive Medicine Perspective As we step into National Public Health Week, I am reminded of the incredible journey we are on as a community dedicated to health and well-being. As a preventive medicine physician, I am particularly excited to celebrate the strides we are making in understanding and promoting preventive health measures. Preventive medicine is at the heart of public health. It is about being proactive rather than reactive. It is about understanding the nuances of disease prevention, health promotion, and the broad impact of environmental factors on our health. This week, we celebrate the tireless efforts of public health professionals who dedicate their lives to preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private communities, and individuals. Here are a few thoughts I'd love to share with my network on this important week: Prevention is Power: Emphasizing preventive health measures can significantly reduce the burden of chronic diseases and mitigate future healthcare challenges. Let's continue to advocate for regular health screenings, vaccinations, healthy lifestyle choices, and other preventive measures that can save lives. Collaboration is Key: The interplay between various healthcare disciplines is crucial for effective preventive medicine. It requires a collaborative approach, integrating expertise from various health professionals to create a holistic and impactful public health strategy. Education and Empowerment: Informing and empowering individuals and communities to take charge of their health is fundamental. Let's use this week to spread awareness about the importance of preventive health and encourage people to actively participate in their health journey. *****Innovation and Research: Advancements in medical research and technology are pivotal in enhancing our preventive measures. Let's celebrate the innovations that have brought us forward and support continued research in preventive medicine. As we observe National Public Health Week, let's recommit to a future where preventive health is a priority for all, reducing the global burden of disease and improving quality of life. I encourage my peers, colleagues, and friends to join in this observance, sharing knowledge, experiences, and insights that can propel us toward a healthier tomorrow. #PublicHealthWeek #PreventiveMedicine #HealthForAll #CommunityHealth #ACPM #PublicHealth #UNC
