James D Chalmers

Our first speaker at the #CPGonLungHealth is @profjdchalmers.bsky.social . He talks about the world leading work that has been led from his team in Dundee. It’s a condition that doesn’t get the focus it needs and it is incredible what has been achieved in the last 14 years @emmaharpermsp.bsky.social

Rethinking bronchiectasis as an inflammatory disease - The Lancet Respiratory Medicine

The Precision Medicine Era of Bronchiectasis

Rethinking #bronchiectasis refers to a shift in understanding BE as primarily a chronic inflammatory disease rather than just an infective disorder. This emphasizes the need for early identification of at-risk individuals & the development of anti-inflammatory treatments.
