How we breathe

These animations from the charity International Primary Care Respiratory Group (IPCRG) have been designed for healthcare professionals to help patients improve their “breathing literacy”. It is not always easy to understand drawings, so the moving images enable you to see all round the body.

“I absolutely love the film, it really gives a great insight into the lungs and will be so helpful for people new (and experienced) looking after lung health. I have shared it with my A&LUK colleagues as well.
