Welcome to BPOLD

BPOLD aims to establish a registry of nine rare lung diseases in children in the UK. The registry will provide epidemiological data on the prevalence and incidence of individual rare lung diseases and inform research projects which will increase our understanding of these diseases and ultimately improve treatment strategies for these children.

BPOLD provides the following functions (click on each heading to be taken to the page).

A Monthly Returns email shot, which allows registered BPRS clinicians* to submit monthly details of their paediatric patients with orphan lung disease.

An Information Resource for clinicians, patients and their families/carers, with the latest knowledge provided on each disease.

News on related sites

A Support Forum, aimed at establishing self-help groups for patients and their families/carers.
