Well done to @AzRehman and the whole team for completing this work! Interesting insights into sustainable prescribing in secondary care!
Great project by @ARCARE_BH and @NHSBartsHealth to help the people most at risk during winter in Tower Hamlets @ApsanaBegumMP @rushanaraali

Are you an adult with asthma or COPD? Or do you use inhalers? @UoB_DAHS is studying how to make inhalers more sustainable by looking at aspects of the inhaler design.

Discordant COPD (FEV1/FVC <0.7, >LLN) is a clinically relevant phenomenon that represents an early COPD state, rather than being overdiagnosis of COPD, as demonstrated by CT analysis, serum biomarker levels, activity monitoring and quality of life scores. bit.ly/3WG8wYT

Delighted to share our ERS Statement on the Management of Benign Pleural Effusions 👇
Typically an understudied group, sat at the crossroads of multiple different specialities and much variation in practice.
Hope helpful!

You know there is something wrong with the NHS when their go to option is to force highly qualified people to work for them much like a prison sentence rather than ask why they are choosing not to stay and try fixing working conditions..

Providing simple spirometry should not be this difficult.
Smoking is a horrible plague that ruins the lives of the least fortunate in society and should be banned.

A recent study looks at the misdiagnosis of COPD in primary care.
Do you have experience with COPD misdiagnosis?
What roll on affect does this have for secondary care respiratory professionals?

Factors to be considered when defining COPD. Healthy ageing and/or exposure to risk factors may lead to development of symptoms such as breathlessness and/or to pre-COPD. Other medical conditions may also lead to symptoms. Pre-COPD may progress to COPD or may resolve. reader.ersjournals.com/copd-… @ERSpublications
