British Thoracic Society and the use of X (formerly known as Twitter)

25 February 2026

For the past few months, the British Thoracic Society (BTS) has been monitoring the use of X.

Following recent negative news coverage, the BTS Board has agreed that BTS should no longer use X as part of its social media strategy.

From Sunday 1 March, BTS will no longer be posting on X and will be deleting its account on the platform.

This will not affect the Society’s presence on both LinkedIn and Facebook, which, going forward, will be the preferred platforms for social media updates from BTS.
