We are excited to announce our 3rd Thoracic Ultrasound course in Belfast! 17th October 2025! Book on the Link below: 🔗: pleura.org.uk/product/thorac… #Pleural #UKPS #Respiratory #RespEd

Can the NHS be assured that in all hospitals, at all times of day, there is access to safe & effective decision making, thoracic USS & pleural procedures? Perhaps more investigation, deeper understanding and action is needed @BTSrespiratory @UKPleura bmjopenrespres.bmj.com/content/12/1/e…

🧵 (7/?) Great survey showing the current state of play. More thoracoscopists, more day case procedures, interestingly slightly less thoracoscopy with increasing US guided pleural biopsy. Is National pleural database the future? @AvinashAujayeb @defonseka #UKPleura #UKPS #Pleural

An important document that I think will be of interest to our followers.

UK Pleural Research Conference in Oxford on 4 & 5 July 2024. There will be a dinner at St Hilda’s College on Thursday night. Accommodation is also available to book. We’re still encouraging abstract submission. …It would be great to see as many of you as possible there. It will once again be a hybrid event with online attendance for those who can’t attend in person. Please do all this via the website at:pleura.org.uk/product/ukps-r…

ERJ: The TARGET trial was a multicentre randomised trial comparing PET-CT targeted pleural biopsy to standard CT-guided pleural biopsy for suspected pleural malignancy. The results do not support the practice of PET-CT to guide pleural biopsies. bit.ly/40HOY6p

Last day at #BTSWinter2023, packed with interesting, stimulating & hopeful talks on #COPD #PR #clinicaltrials and #immunomodulation to improve outcomes. But best bits of this trip were in catching with friends and colleagues of yester years. Look forward to seeing you all again!

1/ Have you ever heard your friendly pulmonologist use the terms “entrapped” or “trapped” lung and were confused about the terminology? If so you are not alone and this is the tweetorial for you! #MedTwitter #tweetorial @crit_caring_MD @lkbrath @VCU_PCCM @PSinkam
