Abstract

Welcome to the September issue of Breathe ! In this edition we explore some local and global issues in respiratory health, focusing on spirometry, bronchiectasis, obstructive sleep apnoea and air pollution. We also have several contributions from junior members about their training and on-call experiences in different countries. We have a fascinating report by a courageous respiratory nursing colleague who used her skills to assist with a research project in Africa during the Ebola crisis [1]. Her account demonstrates that our training can be used in many fields of endeavour. The September issue of Breathe looks at some local and global issues in respiratory health http://ow.ly/yv0z302sM9e
