A support group for bronchiectasis patients and their carers – “Breathtakers – Action for Bronchiectasis” was set up in 2010 – under an initiative from Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland and the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh bronchiectasis clinic headed by Dr Adam Hill – now Professor Adam Hill. It is run by a small grouping of patient volunteers.
The aim of the group is to:
- aid rehabilitation
- improve and maintain quality of life
- promote awareness of bronchiectasis
Our aim is to be open, encouraging and informative. The following pages give details of the programme of meetings, summaries of the meetings, a note of our activities at the clinic table and a list of the newsletters we have produced.
The group will shortly be surveying a sample of those who are interested in the group. A summary of the results of this survey will be presented to the Annual General Meeting in October 2019.
