Respiratory clinical care and physiology: ERS Congress 2024

Programme highlights as selected by ERS Assembly 1



ERS Assembly 1 is the Society's largest assembly, covering a wide range of interests in respiratory care. These topics will be covered in depth at the ERS Congress 2024, with many sessions aimed at health professionals with an interest in this area.

Ioannis Vogiatzis – Head

Q: As Head of Assembly 1, what are you most looking forward to about this year’s ERS Congress?

I am most looking forward to reconnecting with our members during the Assembly 1 members’ meeting that is scheduled to take place in Hall A3 between 17.15 and 18.45 on Tuesday the 10th of September. This meeting will provide the opportunity to identify training and development needs for education and skills courses and discuss with colleagues our plans for task forces and programme priorities for the ERS Congress in 2025.

Q: What in your opinion will be the hot topics for respiratory clinical care and physiology?

These will be emerging topics in digital health and AI solutions in respiratory medicine, diagnosis and management of breathlessness, novel models of rehabilitation and chronic care, and the physiology and biology of exercise limitation in chronic respiratory diseases.
