Led by a local healthcare professional, informative webinars give participants the opportunity to engage with an expert on the topic and ask questions that are specific to their interests. It could focus on general lung health, air quality, or keeping active. 

Our daily life behaviours influence our lung health, not just now but also in later life. Providing evidence-based information will raise awareness on the importance of lung health and enable people to make informed decisions about factors affecting it. 

Healthy Lungs for Life started as a public lung function testing event. You now have the opportunity to have lung function testing (spirometry) in the office. 

A spirometry test measures your lung function are and can be used to help diagnose and monitor lung conditions. The test measures how much air you can blow out in total and how much air you can blow out in the first second of the test.  

Lung function is a global health marker, providing a window of opportunity to intervene with health promotion and disease prevention activities throughout life.

Regular physical activity is important for lung health and there is a level of exercise or activity that is suitable for everyone. It has been shown to improve quality of life and fitness in healthy individuals and to reduce the risk of chronic conditions.
