Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), an interstitial idiopathic pneumonia, is the most common of the interstitial lung diseases. The emergence of new treatments for the condition has increased the need for efficient, high-quality care, preferably in specialist centres. This article reviews the latest NICE standards for IPF care; a case study (page 20) describes the management of a patient with IPF.
