Jenny Lynch-Wilson

Jenny is Lead ILD CNS for Hywel Dda University Health Board, based in West Wales. She started her Respiratory career 25 years ago, initially on Respiratory wards/Cystic Fibrosis Unit in Llandough Hospital, and then as a COPD Nurse Specialist/oxygen nurse with CRRU. In 2013 she relocated with her husband and children to a small predominantly Welsh speaking village to live the ‘Good Life’ on a smallholding, now spending her spare time tending to their sheep/goats/ducks/geese/dogs!

As there was no ILD service for patients within the Hywel Dda UHB , in 2017 she established the ILD CNS role, coordinated and presented at the regional ILD MDT in Cardiff to ensure the patients received accurate diagnosis and management. She now runs nurse led ILD clinics across the health board in Carmartheshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, and the ILD team has expanded to two nurses and two consultants. She has a passion for palliative care and the use of digital health platforms and tools such as PKB and telehealth for monitoring and improving patient care in the rural environment.
