Primary Care Respiratory Society
Primary Care Respiratory Society is the UK-wide professional society supporting healthcare professionals to deliver high value patient-centred respiratory care. Its ultimate vision is ‘optimal respiratory health for all’.
Health inequalities resources
PCRS has launched a new series of resources on health inequalities, bringing together key guidance about caring for people with respiratory disease who are impacted by health inequalities and severe mental illness. The resources include a podcast series that aims to help you address the issues raised by these conditions and come up with strategies to help your patients. A newsletter outlines practical steps that primary care and out-of-hours services can take, and signposts to useful resources.
