MAARA 50th Anniversary Open Public Lecture

The Future of Airways Disease.

On Wednesday 20 June 2018 at 5.30 pm Professor Ian Pavord, who was a Consultant Physician at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester from 1995-2013 and is now Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of Oxford, will review this work before providing a personal view on the future of airways disease.

There have been great changes in the way clinicians view airway diseases over the last 10-15 years and our future approach to classification and management will be very different. Our old fashioned labels will be replaced by a new classification system focusing on traits that can be measured and modified, with resultant patient benefit. Management will move from one size fits all guidelines to a new precision medicine, biomarker directed approach. Original research carried out in Leicester and elsewhere in the East Midlands have been hugely influential in driving this new thinking.
