We shouldn't forget the support that is needed today for the millions who are living with the harms of nicotine addiction & the overwhelming need to increase funding for lung health research, massively under resourced, to understand long term impact and relative harms in vaping.

@aluk_research @samtwick @OpenAccessGov At this time of year when respiratory conditions are once again piling on the pressure in emergency admissions and bed use, you’d think the need for investment in lung health research would be a no brainer - but apparently we are still having to make the case.

So good to get the message out of hope for people who have been waiting for years for new treatment options but also that we need more investment right now to make up for years of neglect.
Our CEO @_SarahSleet was on @BBCBreakfast today responding to research from @KingsCollegeLon about a clinical trial that has found a new way of treating serious asthma and COPD attacks. This could be a game-changer for people with lung conditions.

Respiratory research funding is on life support - we need at least 3x the current level of public investment to make up for years of neglect and give hope to people whose treatment options have barely changed over decades.
Our CEO @_sarahsleet reflecting on why respiratory research is key and the importance of investment into research. #BTSWinter2024

It’s World COPD Day. Time to support hundreds of thousands living with this lifelong debilitating condition. Only 1 in 10 currently getting the basic care that doctors agree they should. We need to reverse years of neglect.
Over a million people across the UK are living with COPD and we're here to support you. Visit our website for expert health advice and resources like our COPD patient passport and self-management plan ➡️ #WorldCOPDDay

Brilliant new campaign from Diabetes UK highlighting stigma - something those with lung disease share.

Great to see you there Colette. So many similar challenges in the lung and diabetes communities. Looking forward to working together on solutions @ctmarshallceo @DiabetesUK
Joined @asthmalunguk for the launch of their hugely important report on respiratory conditions and the changes needed. @_SarahSleet made compelling case for change.

Thank you Chloe for brilliantly describing on BBC Breakfast yesterday the impact of the poor respiratory care in the UK. Breathlessness driving most emergency admissions in England. Looking so professional in the green room beforehand…

Had the great privilege of meeting Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debra at the Healthy Air Coalition Westminster event this week. Inspirational fighter for justice who has moved mountains in the fight for clean air. @HealthyAirUK
The government apology marks an important moment in our fight to tackle the dangerous health impacts of air pollution on our nation’s children who are most vulnerable. While we welcome this statement from Ministers – now is the time for action, not words.

Great to see the ban. But where is the tobacco and vapes bill? We need to act asap with around 350 young adults starting smoking every day.
We welcome the ban on disposable vapes. Recent figures show a worrying rise in the number of children vaping, who mostly use disposable vapes.

So we need everyone with an interest in respiratory with a great research idea around prevention in this space to get those bids in. Let's prove there is the enthusiasm and ideas to drive respiratory research forward.
