The British Thoracic Society Winter Meeting at the QEII Centre in London provided the first opportunity for the respiratory community to meet and disseminate research findings face to face since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. World-leading researchers from the UK and abroad presented their latest findings across a range of respiratory diseases. This article aims to represent the range of the conference and as such is written from the perspective of a basic scientist, a physiotherapist and two doctors. The authors reviewed showcase sessions plus a selection of symposia based on their personal highlights. Content ranged from exciting new developments in basic science to new and unpublished results from clinical trials, delivered by leading scientists from their fields including former deputy chief medical officer Professor Sir Jonathan Van-Tam and former WHO chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan.
在伦敦的 QEII 中心举行的英国胸科学会冬季会议为呼吸道疾病领域的专家提供了自 COVID-19 大流行开始以来首次面对面交流和传播研究成果的机会。来自英国和其他国家的世界领先研究人员在一系列呼吸道疾病方面展示了他们的最新发现。本文旨在代表会议的范围,因此是由一位基础科学家、一位物理治疗师和两位医生从各自的角度撰写的。作者根据个人亮点,对展示会和部分专题研讨会进行了回顾。内容涵盖了从基础科学的令人兴奋的新进展到临床试验的新的未发表结果,由包括前副首席医疗官乔纳森·范-塔姆爵士教授和前世卫组织首席科学家苏米娅·斯瓦米纳坦博士在内的各自领域的顶尖科学家进行了介绍。
