Description
BREATH hosted an event bringing together over 50 healthcare workers, scientists, businesses and policy makers to discuss Scotland’s progress towards the deadly lung disease, COPD. The event at the University’s campus in Ayrshire - a known COPD ‘hotspot’ - hosted attendees looking to learn more about new research on the lung disease which takes over 600,000 lives in the EU every year. BREATH presenters included: Dr Gary Litherland (UWS), Dr Keith Thornbury (BREATH Lead; DkIT), Prof Lorcan McGarvey (QUB), Dr Anur Guhan (NHS Ayrshire & Arran) Prof John Lockhart (UWS) and Dr Iain McLellan (UWS).| Period | 22 Aug 2018 |
