This free webinar will provide value for anyone who is keen to understand how to help those living with damp and mould.

Date: Wednesday 22 January 2025

Time: 12.30pm - 1.30pm

Created jointly between the British Thoracic Society and Property Care Association, this event will introduce health professionals, housing management professionals and property care contractors, to research which demonstrates the main health impacts of living with damp and mould.

BTS Sustainability lead, Dr Laura-Jane Smith, Consultant Respiratory Physician at King’s College Hospital, will highlight the evidence of harm seen by GPs and thoracic consultants, how health impacts could be treated, and the questions to ask patients presenting with specific symptoms which could indicate an environmental problem.

James Berry, Deputy CEO at the PCA, will outline the UK regulation that exists and what this means for social and private tenants. He will focus on what should be done if damp or mould is present in a home, when to raise concerns and who to contact for further advice.
