Our poster on feasibility of home spirometry in ILD is in Hall 7 right now. The study led by Dr @mwickremas, had high patient adherence & acceptability with home spirometry & oximetry on 91% of study days #ERSCongress #ERS2022
Mel Wickremasinghe retweeted
Given sensitivity of frequent spirometry in predicting progression of ILDs home spirometry is a realistic and highly valuable alternative to clinic assessment @mwickremas #ERS2022 #ERSCongress2022

Thanks @EI_TheUK @MClaireHenry @leo_clancy & @LeoVaradkar for yesterday's digital healthcare discussion with @NHSX @tara_donnelly1. It was great to discuss @patientMpower work with Imperial College & @mwickremas & how digitalhealth can transform care pathways

50% OF UK IPF PATIENTS ARE DENIED ACCESS TO ANTIFIBROTIC TREATMENT BY NICE RULES. Early stage IPF patients (FVC > 80%) and those with advanced symptoms (FVC>50%) cannot be prescribed. This is grossly unfair and results in worse outcomes and ultimately shorter lives
Best of luck and look forwards to still working together!

There are 70,000 people living with ILD in the UK. It is unclear whether government guidance on extreme vulnerability and shielding covers ILD patients. As yet, very few patients have been contacted by either the NHS or their GP.
Mel Wickremasinghe retweeted
Chief Medical Officers : UK Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) patients need to know URGENTLY if we are considered ‘extremely vulnerable’ to Covid-19 and must follow shielding guidance. PLEASE CLARIFY

A small thing compared to the suffering of many people in this current situation but not being able to give my 88y dad a hug on his birthday was difficult yesterday
That’s amazing @MindedInstitute it really worked well @ImperialNHS
That sounds amazing. We will look at adding this to our wellbeing work to support staff @sashnhs
#Digital tech @ImperialNHS not just for patients but for staff #wellbeing @suegrange3 #yoga @MindedInstitute at the end of a long hard day on a respiratory ward for our #juniordoctors @filoktimon

Patients will now benefit from #socialprescribing @ImperialNHS by the immediacy of digital sign posting and geolocation and the holistic prescription for all aspects of their health and wellbeing not just a disease @HelenStokesLam @HealthUnlocked
Did the first digital social prescription today at @ImperialNHS for a lung fibrosis outpatient who used the #CIE to view it. A great potential tool for inpatients too @HelenStokesLam @idiopathic @MindedInstitute Great Digital team @ImperialNHS
