The chronic respiratory failure (CRF)/sleep research group includes the UK's largest centre for home ventilation and one of London's foremost research centres for sleep apnoea. The group oversees 10,500 patients with lung failure or sleep apnoea.
The research group is led by Professor Anita Simonds and Professor Mary Morrell.
