“Bronchiectasis now taking centre stage and patient will benefit if we diagnose early and treat properly”— James D Chalmers
James D Chalmers, Rhodes Chair of Experimental Therapeutics at the University of Oxford, said bronchiectasis is receiving greater attention at the GOLD COPD conference. In a post on X, he said two major talks on the condition were held there on the day of his post.
Chalmers wrote that "sometimes you have to take a step back and reflect". He said bronchiectasis is "now taking centre stage" and expressed the view that patients will benefit if clinicians diagnose early and treat properly.
He closed the post by urging colleagues to "keep working together for better patient care".
Chalmers is also Chief Editor of the European Respiratory Journal. His X account states that he posts in a personal capacity. The post did not give details of what the two talks covered.
