Special dinner celebrating retirement of 4 remarkable colleagues who devoted decades to building our Respiratory Dept at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital into a leading clinical/research centre.
Heartfelt thanks to Profs Phil Thompson, Fiona Lake & Bruce Robinson + Australia’s legendary Nurse Practitioner Sue Morey, for their extraordinary contributions and lasting legacy.
A new freezer in our Clinical Trials Unit is helping protect vital patient samples for lung research, thanks to the generous support of Aerodrome Management Services.

Enjoyed chairing today's dinner mtg: Dr Dhaval Thakkar's update on Bronchoscopic Lung Vol Reduction (BLVR) + @nc_huan outlined the EVAPoRATe trial:
Love hate relationship of Endobronchial Valve (EBV) & Pneumothorax (PTx):
- PTx complicates ~25% of BLVR with EBV; yet
- EBV can treat persistent PTx
