THE COUNTDOWN TO RESPIRATORY PROFESSIONAL CARE IS ON!
Advancing excellence in respiratory medicine across secondary care: where expertise meets innovation
Respiratory Professional Care returns for its fifth edition, 9-10 October 2024, at NEC Birmingham. The conference provides free accredited CPD for all members of the respiratory community, including essential clinical updates, examples of best practice and cutting-edge innovations covering all major respiratory diseases. We partner with world-class speakers, our agenda is powered by a high-level advisory board and additional expertise is provided by leading associations in the respiratory space such as PCRS, ARNS, and BSACI.
What to expect at Respiratory Professional Care
Consisting of three theatres and a brand-new poster zone, the programme will explore everything to support the sustainable recovery of respiratory services, from early and accurate diagnosis, service innovation and tackling health inequalities, to long Covid, severe asthma, COPD, Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), and pulmonary rehabilitation.
The exhibition floor at Respiratory Professional Care presents the UK's largest showcase of products, innovations, and solutions for elevating the provision of respiratory medicine within secondary care, with more than 75 companies on hand to demonstrate how your department can increase efficiencies and improve patient outcomes.
The UK's respiratory health 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.
