Travel home from #BTSWinter2024. Long days, jam packed with great people doing great work in the Respiratory world. Saw a lot of old friends, too many to mention. Good conference, would recommend. 5 stars.

NRAP session at #BTSWinter2024. We can’t do this in Scotland, for various reasons. But there must be a great deal to learn here for what we do. Or should be doing.
