Last week the Association for Excellence Awards ceremony took place for 2023. British Thoracic Society was shortlisted in two categories, and walked away with a silver award for Best Association Partnership or Collaboration. This was won for the 2022 Lungs Matter programme produced with ITN Business.
Lungs Matter is a news-style programme to explore the game changing technology and innovations that are impacting patient outcomes, as well as showcasing how education and prevention are making a real difference. The programme investigates the impact of external factors such as pollution and healthcare inequalities on respiratory health and the significant pressures being experienced across the NHS. Following the pandemic, where respiratory illness became headline news, ‘Lungs Matter’ aims to continue the conversations started, raising awareness and understanding, shining a light on the clinicians and organisations going above and beyond to advance treatments and patient outcomes, as well as highlighting the stories of individuals living with poor respiratory health.
