Our shared purpose

We share

• A collective passion to offer the best care to people with respiratory conditions; influenced and delivered by trained, experienced, compassionate and holistic staff.
• A commitment to always put the respiratory patient at the centre of everything we do.
• A desire to be supportive of each other, to care for our members' wellbeing, encouraging individual growth and a passion to constantly improve (put on your own oxygen mask first).
• A family-like togetherness creating a sense of belonging, with a common aim to improve respiratory health and all the elements that link to it - early and accurate diagnosis, improved management and support for patients.
• A dedication to challenge inequities resulting in increased prevalence and variation in provision of care.
• A hunger to challenge the status-quo and the 'poor cousin' status of respiratory health versus other conditions (e.g. cardiac, cancers, etc) and how they interact with each other.
• A drive to be sufficiently discerning to not settle for hollow promises - actions speaks louder than words.
