Non-specific interstitial pneumonitis (NSIP)
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP)
Sarcoidosis

Drug-induced lung disease
Cryptogenic organising pneumonia (COP)
We have dedicated clinical, nursing and research staff who provide the highest standard of care for our patients with ILD. The north west of England has the highest prevalence of ILD in the country and we diagnose, review and manage patients from the local area, from within the North West region and from further afield. We aim to excel in the care we provide, and ensure that UHSM ILD services are at the forefront of national and international standards set for ILD. At UHSM we manage patients at all stages of ILD from those newly diagnosed, to those in clinical trials and those with more advanced disease requiring lung transplantation. We have close connections with the lung transplant unit as Dr. Leonard works both in the ILD and transplant unit.
We have a dedicated specialist multi-disciplinary team who ensure an accurate diagnostic and management pathway for our patients.
We see over 400 new patients per year and have approximately a further 600 patients under regular review.
