.

Each meeting usually includes a speaker, plus a chance to chat over a cup of tea and to learn from each other. The topics discussed cover a wide variety of subjects, from specific medical conditions to wider issues and interests. There is usually access to a medical professional, and chest consultants are popular speakers.

In previous meetings we have learnt about subjects as diverse as:

  • Bronchiectasis
  • COPD
  • yoga
  • acupuncture
  • stress management
  • pensions advice
  • flower arranging
  • inhalers
  • medical ethics

We have been lucky enough to attract many expert speakers, including:

  • Dr Lawford Hill & Dr Ricky Jones (Consultant Chest Physicians - Warwick Hospital)
  • Professor Sherwood Burge OBE (Consultant Chest Physician - Birmingham Heartlands Hospital)

Our Vice-Chair is Lynn Fletcher, Respiratory Nurse Specialist - Warwick Hospital.
