Our work with patients
NRAP have collaborated with Asthma + Lung UK (A+LUK) and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) to establish vibrant lived experience panels.
A+LUK represent adults with lived experience of conditions including, but not limited to, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This group share their own experiences of health and care with the aim of helping NRAP to focus on improving the things that matter most to people with these conditions.
The RCPCH represents children and young people with lived experience of asthma, as well as parents and carers. The Asthma &Me Ambassadors are aged 14–24 and have joined together from across the country with a shared mission to improve asthma care and services for children and young people.
These patient groups meet regularly online to share their priorities for respiratory care and discuss how NRAP can empower both people with respiratory conditions and those responsible for the care they receive.
