Trust and transparency

How this resource is prepared.

The Circuit of Breath is written from lived experience. It is not presented as a clinical guideline, medical service or substitute for individual care.

Who writes the material

Ray Tollis is a patient living with chronic respiratory illness. His background and perspective are described on the About Ray page. Where the website summarises his handbook, it identifies the material as lived experience rather than professional medical advice.

How clinical information is handled

Clinical statements and safety signposts on this website are checked against recognised sources such as healthdirect Australia, Lung Foundation Australia, Bronchiectasis Toolbox and the COPD-X Plan. External links take readers to the organisations responsible for that guidance.

What this website does not claim

The handbook has not been represented as a cure, a treatment prescription or a replacement for a personalised action plan. No reader should change medication, supplements, exercise or airway-clearance routines because of this website alone.

Updates and corrections

The website identifies the handbook edition currently available. Content may be updated as the handbook develops or reliable source material changes. To report an error or suggest a correction, email raytollis@gmail.com.
