About The Respiratory Network

The Respiratory Network is a national platform bringing together patients, NHS professionals, system leaders and life sciences to improve respiratory care across England. Respiratory services sit at the intersection of acute care, long term condition management, community support, and prevention. Variation in access, outcomes, and experience remains significant between regions and populations. The Respiratory Network exists to create space for honest, informed discussion about how respiratory care really works, and how it could work better. We focus on lived experience, real world delivery, and practical insight rather than theory. By bringing patients, clinicians, commissioners, and industry into the same conversations, the Network helps surface perspectives that are often heard separately but rarely explored together. Our work includes national round tables, insight led discussions, and shared learning that reflect the realities of frontline care and patient experience. We explore themes such as service variation, inequality, pathway design, integration of physical and mental health, and the role of responsible partnership in improving outcomes. The Respiratory Network is not a membership organisation focused on hierarchy or representation. It is a collaborative environment built on trust, curiosity, and respect, where challenge is welcomed and complexity is acknowledged. Whether you are living with a respiratory condition, delivering care, shaping services, or supporting the system through innovation, the Network provides a place to listen, contribute, and learn. Our aim is simple, to support better understanding, better collaboration and ultimately better respiratory care for people and communities.
