ERS International Congress 2022: highlights from the Allied Respiratory Professionals Assembly

Abstract

In this paper, we provide a brief overview of some of the outstanding sessions that were (co)organised by the Allied Respiratory Professionals Assembly during the 2022 European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress, which was held in a hybrid format. Early Career Members from Assembly 9 summarised the content of the sessions, with the support of the Officers from the four Assembly groups: Respiratory Function Technologists and Scientists (Group 9.01); Physiotherapists (Group 9.02); Nurses (Group 9.03); Psychologists and Behavioural Scientists (Group 9.04). The sessions covered the following topics: recent advances in cardiopulmonary exercise and challenge testing; the role and new trends in physiotherapy, exercise and physical activity promotion interventions in chronic respiratory diseases; development of the international curriculum for respiratory nurses and nursing aspects in disease management; and treatment adherence, e-health interventions and post Covid-19 challenges. This Highlights paper targets delegates who attended the Congress sessions, as well as those who were unable to attend, and provides valuable insight into the latest scientific data and emerging areas affecting the clinical practice of Allied Respiratory Professionals.

ERS International Congress 2023: highlights from the Respiratory Clinical Care and Physiology Assembly

“…In addition to the reports from the other Assemblies [109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121], we hope that the highlights summarised hereinabove will help update readers with the impressive amount of respiratory research and advances in pulmonary clinical care presented through the sessions from ERS Assembly 1 -Respiratory clinical care and physiology, alongside with suggestions for further investigations. We also hope to have encouraged the readership to contribute to Assembly 1 activities, and to take part to the 2024 ERS International Congress to be held in Vienna next September, where further scientific novelties and clinical developments on these topics will be discussed.…”
