Trip up north to learn with @NIHRresearch workforcevoices.org about maternity workforce, general medical training evaluation, neighbourhood working and more, on a campus built on the site of an old brewery
Great day with @NIHRPSRCs discussing safety equity. Loved the live graphics summarising talks (@PSRC_Midlands highlights 馃憞馃徎) and the summary of maternal care pathway through an equity lens
Great talk on microplastics & lung health #ERSCongress2025 Key messages - more ingestion from air than gut, thus most deposition in the lung. Links to #COPD & ILD. The type of plastic matters
Shifting thinking toward prevention as the most cost-effective strategy in #copd Sounds sensible but not easy in many health systems #ERSCongress2025
Dupilumab for ABPA - signals for FEV1, possibly exacerbations, & QOL #ERSCongress2025
ALIENTO study of Astegolimab, targeting IL33 in #COPD. Marginal effect on AECOPD, direction same as (negative) ARNASA study. Maybe too broad/late population? #ERSCongress2025
Started #ERSCongress2025 with an excellent NTM session. Take homes: many new routes to Rx, CFTR & GM-CSF clinical data promising. BACES score aids prognostication
It's been a productive week or so in #pulmonaryrehab @NHSBSol with 2 cross-provider workshops sharing best practice, #QI tips, @NRAPaudit results and more. We're aiming to scale up city wide
Wonderful away day with @TeamRespiratory today - we got big! Whilst we can't guarantee glorious sunny days all the time @unibirm_CMH today proved we can offer sunny dispositions & collaboration 馃槉
