Lung cancer screening saves lives – but we must secure its immediate and long-term future. We support @Roy_Castle_Lung call for urgent action. #LungCancerScreening You can also read our previous blog here: uklcc.org.uk/blog/april-202…
To mark the 3 year anniversary of the first Covid-19 lockdown, we spoke to Dr Adam Ainley, Consultant Respiratory Physician at @BHRUT_NHS & Clinical Lead for #LongCovid across north east London about the #LongCovid clinics. To read the interview, visit: northeastlondon.icb.nhs.uk/news/a-reflect…

Life-saving lung checks get underway for residents in Barking & Dagenham, aged 55 to 74 who have ever smoked. Invites are being sent out for this free lung check. Look out for your letter. It's really important to do this, even if you feel healthy! @lbbdcouncil @HealthwatchBD
Our Sleep Apnoea team cares for around 4,000 patients each year. They want more people to be aware of the signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, which can have a big impact on your quality of life and health if not treated. Read more: ow.ly/pqrq50INKzj
This seems to have flown under the radar a little bit. The UK National Screening Committee released its interim report last week, recommending #LungCancer #Screening for high risk populations. Highly cost effective. Final recommendations due later this year. This is BIG NEWS! 🙏🏻
Clinicians should not recommend e-cigarettes for smoking cessation due to the risk of permanent nicotine dependence bit.ly/358oToy
@BHRUT_NHS @drrajeshbanka @nnttcurran Happy 🌍😴 Day! Our Sleep Apnoea team is based at KGH in Chest Clinic and today we tried to make staff and patients more aware of what Obstructive Sleep Apnoea is and what impact it can have on our health. Consent taken📷
The AERATOR study showed that spirometry, PEFR & FeNO testing do not generate significant aerosols in comparison with cough. Standard viral filters are sufficiently effective to allow guidelines to remove lung function testing from the list of AGPs 👍🏼!thorax.bmj.com/content/77/3/2…

Respiratory Support Units were key in the response to COVID-19, but their applications are broader, extending to winter pressures management, and should be rolled out widely across the NHS bit.ly/2N4I0at . Read our guidance on RSUs bit.ly/3vqrLEG
Today we have published our joint BTS/ @ICS_updates guidance on the development and implementation of Respiratory Support Units, with general principles and scalable details of the workforce and infrastructure necessary for the safe operation of an RSU bit.ly/3vqrLEG
.@NHSGIRFT reported that hospitals with Respiratory Support Unit-like services showed lower mortality during the pandemic, and recommended their establishment across the NHS. Read the new BTS/ @ICS_updates guidance on how to implement and operate them. bit.ly/3vqrLEG
