Researchers led by @gourab06 are looking for smokers aged 30-45 in Lothian to take part in a @lunguk-funded study. We want to know what causes some smokers to develop COPD and what happens in the early stages.

Both myself and @exerciseCOPD are trained to deliver tai chi movements for wellbeing (TMW) at our #pulmonaryrehab classes which consist of 12 key tai chi movements that are appropriate for people with #COPD and can be less daunting than high intensity exercise for Tx shy pts – at West Midlands, England

We’ve organised a great session at #WinterBTS2018 - join us on Thursday 6th Dec, 1.45pm, Gielgud Room 2nd floor to hear @lunguk research Chairs @LouiseVwain, #JamesChalmers and @TobyMMaher talk about their work.
Brilliant Louise Wain, our own @lunguk professor!
A brilliant talk from Louise Wain highlighting key SNPs associated with lung function, COPD or IPF risk. Why use genomics? The signals don't really change compared with transcriptomics, proteomics. Potential to identify solid hits for drug targeting #BTSWinter2018 @BALRcommunity

Was thinking if only there was as much ££ spent on research into non-pharmaceutical interventions for #COPD #IPF as there is spent on drug Tx we could have so many more things in our clinical ‘toolkit’ to help our pts so much more – at West Midlands, England
