I was surprised by all the interest in our project, a novel approach to titrating long-term oxygen therapy in COPD patients at the @irishthoracicS Conference, with a bonus prize (2nd best poster). @NCPRespiratory1#RespiratoryNursing
Presented our remote monitoring project to support decision-making towards Long Term oxygen therapy for COPD patients. Also reunited with my OG respiratory team! #RespiratoryNursing#ITSconference2025
Irish Thoracic Society Conference 2025 🇮🇪🫁 Great day with the OLOLH Drogheda Respiratory team and lovely to catch up with colleagues from respiratory services across Ireland. #ITS
Exciting times in #Bronchiectasis, with many promising new drugs in development.
Delighted to share our new work “Emerging therapies in bronchiectasis”, published today in the European Respiratory Journal @ERSpublications@LPereaS@AlibertiStefano

Live at RCSI for the HSE DNE Grand Rounds on Advancing Nursing & Midwifery Practice, with openings from Ms Petrina Donnelly & Ms Ann Lister. #GrandRounds#ANP
IAANMP conference well under way, with the theme ‘A vision on the advanced practice model of care’ been showcased by our inspiring speakers #iaanmpconference2025
Emerging evidence suggests air pollution may be associated with abnormalities and disease of the alveoli and pulmonary interstitium. This review examines this evidence alongside mechanisms of alveolar injury, susceptibility factors and knowledge gaps. https://t.co/bYOxuyDlOe
In women with asthma, having an asthma exacerbation during pregnancy increases the risk of bronchiolitis and wheeze in infants, whereas inhaled corticosteroid use during pregnancy does not appear to have an impact on wheeze and bronchiolitis outcomes https://t.co/BxNtcG9uft
A landmark Chinese position paper in @AllergyEAACI outlines expert recommendations for biologic therapy in CRSwNP. It provides updated criteria for patient selection, monitoring, and treatment response.

ERJ Open Res: Multimorbid severe COPD patients need to be treated with a complementary systemic approach. In this way, the patient, not only the airway disease, will be treated comprehensively, as two effects (metabolic and pulmonary) are better than one. https://t.co/IZTC2mDt6D
Anti-IL-5/5Rα biologics reduce severe exacerbations and hospitalisations, improve asthma control, quality of life and lung function, and decrease systemic corticosteroids use in real-life settings; a biomarker-related response to treatment is also noted https://t.co/FWU0yYJmgM
ERR: Electronic inhaler adherence monitoring can effectively identify sub-optimal adherence in people with COPD and potentially improve adherence when combined with healthcare professionals’ interventions. The impact on clinical outcomes remains uncertain. https://t.co/t7kpiamoSr
European Respiratory Review: This review explores the interface between defective macrophage phagocytosis and distinct changes in the respiratory microbiome observed during COPD, whereby selective uptake of pathogens may be driving community structure. https://t.co/b5pQybiSbK
Thank u #bts2024 for asking us to present our analysis of the UK severe asthma registry showing young adults with asthma have much worse outcomes when compared to other age ranges...we need to invest more in this cohort to minimise harm and prevent future complications
ERJ Open Research: Treatment with tezepelumab improved lung function and reduced asthma exacerbations compared with placebo in patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma and persistent airflow obstruction, which can be difficult to treat https://t.co/VJ6cRF9bCN
