Interstitial lung disease: an interdisciplinary approach

Symposium
Chairs: M. Kreuter (Heidelberg, Germany), W. Wuyts (Rotselaar, Belgium), K. Leceuvre (Kessel-Lo, Belgium)
Aims: to show how a person-centred integrated approach to the management of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is fundamental to delivering high quality care to adults with IPF. Specific aims are as follows: to demonstrate the impact of the specialised nurse on the quality of care delivered to patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD); to describe the association between patient education and quality of life; to discuss, using IPF case examples, the complexity of ILD and the challenges faced in providing individualised care across the disease trajectory, including access to palliative care; and to provide an update on contemporary measures that are used to optimise patient outcomes.
