The vision for the Morecambe Bay Respiratory Network (MBRN) is simple – to dramatically improve care for patients with respiratory disease in Morecambe Bay with a seamless, integrated care pathway.

Focussing on the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory conditions such as Asthma, COPD, Interstitial Lung Disease and Bronchiectasis the MBRN is developing care pathways which span primary, community and secondary care to provide seemless care for our patients.

The Network is based around the Primary Care Integrated Care Communities (ICC’s) which form the backbone of the local health and care system in Morecambe Bay.  We are increasing investment in GP surgeries and community teams to enhance their capacity, skills and knowledge to priovide better care to patients with respiratory conditions.
