Fiona Copeland, as ex-chair of PCD Support Group UK, attended their Medical Board Meeting on Friday, 19th May 2023 in London. Over 70 healthcare professionals met from across the UK to discuss the 'Clinical Priorities in PCD'. We learned about the latest physiotherapy studies using MRI Scanning, as well as a study looking at nighttime coughs and a study comparing nasal inflammation in people with PCD, CF and healthy controls. We also learnt all about the latest updates in genetic research, diagnostics, and clinical management of patients. This great illustration captures the talks of the day.
