Families push for independent review after suspended lung doctor linked to patient harm

The Epsom and St Helier NHS Trust is expanding its review of care for more than 200 interstitial lung disease patients treated by suspended consultant Veronica Varney after a Royal College of Physicians review found off‑label, evidence-light advice that may have harmed patients, including discouraging flu vaccination and advising against rapeseed oil. Three premature deaths and lasting harm were linked to her treatment; the trust will review a further 203 cases, with families urging independent external oversight.

Feathered fans help scientists map a lung-disease mystery

Pigeon fanciers are helping scientists study pigeon lung, a hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Since 2019 UK researchers and the British Pigeon Fanciers Medical Research Trust have tested more than 500 volunteers at pigeon shows, using spirometry, oscillometry, blood tests, DNA analysis, and questionnaires to compare those who stay healthy with those who develop lung symptoms. The goal is to identify who is at risk, enable earlier diagnosis, and uncover biological processes that could inform treatments for this and related exposure‑driven interstitial lung diseases across the wider population.
