The last issue of Clinics in Chest Medicine on bronchiectasis was 10 years ago (2012) and it was very satisfying to look back on the progress that has been made in that time Still a lot more to do, but research, with patient advocacy has made a big impact sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We’re sending our thoughts to all who knew Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah today on what would have been her 18th birthday. Her family’s campaign for clean air has been inspirational. No one should be forced to breathe dirty air. #Ella18 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lo…

Im hoping to join the INSPIRE trainees network session tomorrow at the BTS and long term hope to see this as a massive incubator of high quality research proposals to the HTA! The panel REALLY want more submissions so they can select the very best proposals

The NIHR HTA panel is great fun and for you budding evidence based practitioners submit a PICO! You’ve got to be in the mix to win it ! @ProfHurst has kindly pulled a grouping of these together for the NIHR CRN… fingers crossed 🤞🏼 the panel like them.

So I’m missing the BTS tomorrow but doing another brilliant fun thing! It’s the NIHR HTA Panel meeting where we vote on possible topics…. To be commissioned on national calls

Outstanding talk on the role of mucociliary clearance in bronchiectasis by @Shoemelia Key highlights include - Underdiagnosis of PCD (5-12% of bronchiectasis patients in these studies after exclusion of those already identified) - Different inflammation needs different Tx! #PCD
