Inspiring, Leading, Empowering
As Chair of ARNS, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to the Association of Respiratory Nurse Specialists (ARNS). After 20 years of inspirational leadership from our previous chairs, which we celebrated at the 2017 20th Anniversary Conference, ARNS is in a strong position, very well connected and respected by our members, partners and key stakeholders in the respiratory world. I was very excited to become Chair of ARNS in May 2017 and to now work with the Executive Committee to transform ARNS to a not for profit organisation, developing a new structure that will empower more members to be actively involved. These are transformational times for ARNS as we consider how we will inspire, lead and empower our members for the next 20 years and beyond. I look forward to sharing details of how you can apply for the new Committee roles very soon.

Tonight is the night!!
Head over to Twitter at 8pm for our chat on Respiratory Research with the fabulous Karen Marshall, Respiratory Nurse Consultant at Newcastle Hospital and Carol Kelly, Respiratory Nurse and Academic at Edge Hill University
There are currently no UK national research priorities identified, or research strategy set for respiratory nursing. Respiratory nurses can be ideal leaders of research, which could potentially improve morbidity and mortality for respiratory patients, but a lack of co-ordination, common
agendas, and funding negates against taking respiratory nurse research forward
