Yet again it was wonderful to be part of hosting the British Thoracic Society Winter Meeting. With over 2,300 delegates across three days, and the launch of the 'Breathing Better Together' programme by ITN Business and Respiratory Futures, I'd say it was another roaring success.How wonderful it is to have the opportunity to network with colleagues and professionals in person. Although video communication is so accessible, sometimes you just can't beat an in person catch up!If you are interested in watching the Breathing Better Together films, you can do so here: bit.ly/3O7FLyw. Focusing on health inequalities, technologies and the collaboration of the multi-disciplinary respiratory team, these films really do showcase what's working well in respiratory healthcare across the UK. I know we all need some good news!Through Respiratory Futures I have also facilitated a number of articles this year across respiratory health, which focus on innovation in the sector and implementing guidance in practice.

Fantastic congress. But did you know wath intensive care (ICU) are? It cost 5% of hospital budget, avoid preventable death, allow patients to survive due to support of failing organes (brain, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, hematologic, intestinal functions). The cost of ICU ist at 70% related to the salaries of the multiple people working in as a complementary team. They work day and night for the surviving of patients and accompanying families and nearby.Sepsis is at the heart of intensive care. It cost an half of ICU budget and is the main cause of death. Despite ICU the mortality of sepsis remains between 20 to 50% depending on its gravity. Each year in France (68 millions inhabitants) the equivalent of a town like Lorient, France (# 57 000 people) died from sepsis despite ICU care. Sepsis cause 1 death/5 WHO. It cause much suffering and cost 0.5% of US GDP.#sepsis, #survivingsepsis #sepsisalliance #sepsisawareness
