Cumbria is a ceremonial and nonmetropolitan county in North West England.

The county and Cumbria County Council, its local government, came into existence in 1974 after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972.

Cumbria's county town is Carlisle, in the north of the county. The only other major urban area is BarrowinFurness on the southwestern tip of the county.

The county of Cumbria consists of six districts (Allerdale, BarrowinFurness, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden and South Lakeland) and, in 2019, had a population of just over 500,000 people. Cumbria is one of the most sparsely populated counties in England, with 73.4 people per km2 (190/sq mi).

Cumbria is the third largest county in England by area. It is bounded to the northeast by Northumberland, the east by County Durham, the southeast by North Yorkshire, the south by Lancashire, the west by the Irish Sea, the northwest by the Scottish council areas of Dumfries and Galloway, and the north by Scottish Borders.

Cumbria is predominantly rural and contains the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site considered one of England's finest areas of natural beauty, serving as inspiration for artists, writers, and musicians.

A large area of the southeast of the county is within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, while the east of the county fringes the North Pennines AONB.

Much of Cumbria is mountainous and it contains every peak in England over 3,000 feet (910 m) above sea level, with the top of Scafell Pike at 3,209 feet (978 m) being the highest point in England.

An upland, coastal and rural area, Cumbria's history is characterised by invasions, migration and settlement, as well as battles and skirmishes between the English and the Scots.

Notable historic sites in Cumbria include Carlisle Castle, Furness Abbey, Hardknott Roman Fort, Brough Castle and Hadrian's Wall (also a World Heritage Site).

Close working relationships exist between the hospital and the community respiratory nursing teams, who provide pulmonary rehabilitation and postdischarge support. Expansion of crossinterface working is expected.

The clinicians are supported on both sites by a lung function laboratory, providing walk tests, spirometry, body box and transfer factor.

There is a weekly lung cancer MDT supported by visiting thoracic surgeons from a nearby hospital. The respiratory service has good links with the hospital palliative care team and the hospice.
