Working in Respiratory

An effectively staffed respiratory workforce can deliver many benefits to patients, from accurate, early diagnosis and optimal treatment to reduced admission rates and hospital stays.

Our members help to design and influence innovative care pathways and practices, and champion increased access to new and appropriate therapies for disease. 

We want to ensure that patients with lung disease are cared for by respiratory specialists on respiratory wards and Respiratory Support Units, in outpatient facilities and integrated care settings. These must be supported by a sustainable respiratory workforce now and in the future.
