This is a joint meeting organised by The Physiological Society and the British Pharmacological Society.
This strategic meeting organised by The Physiological Society and the British Pharmacological Society will bring together physiologists and pharmacologists. Through an interdisciplinary approach, it will explore the latest research on respiratory research, coupled with new treatment options.
The two-day programme will provide thought-provoking, and inspiring keynote plenary presentations, and scientific research presentations that will cover the physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology and feature the latest in respiratory research and clinical practice. There are fantastic opportunities for networking and personal development.
