10years ago the NRAD report looked into asthma deaths. 2/3 were preventable by better NHS care and better self-management. Recommendations were made but not actioned. Nothing has changed. Deaths are still happening. Many are avoidable. https://t.co/yK5qyhvGCE

Over 12,000 people in the UK have died from asthma attacks in the ten years since a landmark report found the majority of asthma deaths are preventable

We were very saddened to hear of the death of Dr Iain Small; Iain was a major contributor to PCRS over 20 years. We will miss Iain but must thank him for his inspirational support for PCRS and his humour and wisdom. This obituary pays tribute to Iain https://t.co/H3jjxKvmPv

Joining PCRS and the Respiratory Leadership Programme was one of the best things I ever did. I didn’t know what I didn’t know working alone in primary care, but through PCRS I’ve met some incredible people who continue to inspire me to do better.
"Attending the Respiratory Leadership Programme...really helped me increase my confidence as I took on a new role in respiratory." Take part in this year's programme to grow in confidence, overcome workplace isolation and develop your leadership style ▶️ https://t.co/J4UoW4DgUB

Mortified that a patient with severe asthma was called and told her inhaler carbon footprint was the equivalent of driving to Scotland and back - and therefore she should switch to DPIs, without any attempt of trying to improve asthma control! 😩

In a survey of ~1200 people with lung disease, 70% were bothered by tobacco company involvement in inhaler manufacture, and 48% would want a switch. Big tobacco further profiting from the diseases they caused in the first place? You couldn’t make that up. https://t.co/8rpJZXAFlc
