Charity appeals to nurses to help shape the future of breathlessness research

In the UK, 1 in 10 people suffer from breathlessness.

Despite this, limited treatment options exist for breathlessness and currently, there is very little research into it.

To address the urgent need for a deeper understanding of and research into breathlessness, the charity Asthma+Lung UK has partnered with the James Lind Alliance (JLA) to complete a Priority Setting Partnership (PSP). This partnership brings together people that experience breathlessness and the healthcare professionals (HCPs) that care for them to contribute their ideas to shape the direction of future research.

The ultimate goal of this PSP is to identify, prioritise and publicise the 'Top 10' unanswered research questions from the people affected by breathlessness, to drive research funding where it matters most.

The key question for HCPs is ‘What should research prioritise to help your patients with breathlessness?’.
