One of our main jobs over the coming year is to raise awareness about aspergillosis & the NAC. We think a few words from patients would help that aim
One person at a time, talking for one to two minutes on the following:
What sort of aspergillosis do you have?
How has it affected your life?
How has having access to the National Aspergillosis Centre helped your symptoms and helped you live your life a little more comfortably (if at all)
