Welcome Message
We are delighted to announce our 7th paediatric respiratory conference, Update in Paediatric Respiratory Diseases 2020. Our first Update started more than 10 years ago and we have received very positive feedback for each subsequent meeting. The field of paediatric respiratory medicine has continued to develop at a very rapid pace. Like previous years, we have assembled a programme to cover important topics ranging from specialised advances in the field such as ciliopathy and techniques in assessing small airway disease to the practicalities of more common conditions such as asthma. We are most honoured to have a panel of world experts joining us to share their valuable and enlightening experiences and insights. We sincerely hope that you will find the weekend productive and rewarding.
