Alison Hughes
Chair of ARNS

"It has been an extremely demanding time for respiratory nurses and as the Year of The Nurse ends, leadership has never been so important.  I feel, now more than ever, that it is a great honour and privilege to become the Chair of the Association of Respiratory Nurse Specialists.

My love for respiratory nursing began in 2001 after I completed my asthma diploma where I was taught and mentored by Chris Fehrenbach, who founded ARNS in 1997.  Little did I know then that I would become an ARNS committee member in 2016 and then follow in her footsteps as Chair. 

Respiratory Nurses have never been so needed and I am very proud to be chairing an organisation that ‘Inspire’, ‘Lead’ and ‘Empower’ our membership. 

Throughout my tenue as Chair, I hope to continue to lead the organisation with the passion of past Chairs and strive for the organisation to be representative of the voice of all respiratory nurses."
