@BTSrespiratory back to basics before the fancy new toys- good reminder to review the foundations of care for all COPD on every review

Thank you @Global_RECHARGE pioneering work to set up and support local communities to deliver PR in developing countries

Thought provoking talk from Lucy Gardiner around health inequalities and the need to know the population we serve and make deliberate changes to improve accessibility to resp services @BTSrespiratory

@AshYouLikeIt @BTSrespiratory @katy_buchan Great bunch of delegates- lots of discussion and reflection and a dream team to focus on waveforms with @AshYouLikeIt and @katy_buchan - thanks for inviting us @BTSrespiratory

I would really appreciate it if anyone working in sleep & ventilation and #respiratory in the #NHS could fill this survey out- it’s on correct NIV & CPAP inpatient documentation. It will only take 5mins to fill out. Thanks in advance #respisbest surveymonkey.com/r/KCBQBWC

Start of the cycle down to CARE conference in Nottingham with @msovani

@MinoSean @traceymains2 Absolutely- I teach carers to do this as part of daily care or for transfers as a way of making it routine. The same should be true for ventilator dependant on NIV.

Anyone with ALS who has a trach & ventilator, please make sure that you ALWAYS have an Ambu bag relatively close by. Have your caregiver practice attaching & using it in case of ventilator failure. My VOCSN ventilator failed yesterday & the MANY practice runs for my caregiver paid off. It became a joke for my caregivers when I would ask them, what would you do if you suddenly saw me struggling to breathe while on the ventilator or if the ventilator fails? Once they said ambu bag, I would have them bring it & show me they can use it. Ventilators can fail. I had a trilogy ventilator fail on me as well, but I could breathe on my own at the time. Here is a YouTube video for anyone who is unfamiliar with using an Ambu bag : youtu.be/eACMC3Yxqzc
