PCRS in Conversation - Health Inequalities and their Impact on Childhood Asthma
At the Primary Care Respiratory Society (PCRS), we believe in 'optimal'; respiratory health for all. Our aim is that, together, we can benefit every person with, or at risk of, lung disease.
In May's instalment of In Conversation we were joined by Ian Sinha, Consultant Respiratory Paediatrician and Honorary Professor of Paediatrics, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Liverpool to discuss the topic of health inequalities and their impact on childhood asthma.
In conversation with Katherine Hickman, our PCRS Executive Chair, Ian shares with us his wealth of knowledge from his experiences of leading respiratory paediatric care in one of the UK's largest children's hospitals, combined with his vast portfolio of more than 100 publications and being National Lead on a number of national asthma audits and taskforces.
