Deadline: 30-Jun-25
Submissions are now open for the Breath of Life Fund Programme.
The Breath of Life has funded research and provided equipment and facilities to help in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients in hospital, in clinics and at home, where statutory funding was not available.
The support for asthma patients has included part-funding the local arm of a piece of international research which pinpointed one of the genes that causes asthma. More recently they have supplied one of the first of a new generation of machines to the Royal Stoke University Hospital to improve diagnosis and treatment of asthma in the area.
