National Aspergillosis Centre
The UK National Aspergillosis Centre has been commissioned by the Department of Health to provide long term care for patients with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. This condition is one of several caused by the airborne fungus Aspergillus.
Expertise in the clinical management of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) and the sophisticated diagnostic testing and monitoring required to support high quality clinical care will also contribute to the care of patients with all forms of aspergillosis.
Most but not all patients with CPA will be indirectly funded by the NHS National Commissioning Group.
See referral criteria for more information.
