The UK's respiratory health crisis

Healthcare crisis

12 million people in the UK have a respiratory condition. This number is three times larger than the number of people who have diabetes. Nearly 8 million people have a cardiovascular condition. 500,000 people each year are diagnosed with cancer. After heart and circulatory diseases, respiratory illnesses combined are the third biggest killer in the UK, largely due to smoking, air pollution, and healthcare inequalities.

There has never been a more urgent need to bring together the UK's respiratory healthcare professionals with key opinion leaders in respiratory medicine to gain valuable insights into emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in the field for the betterment of the nation's population.
