Better Breathing 2018 The Better Breathing Conference brings together healthcare professionals from many disciplines, all focused on the respiratory health of the people of Ontario, including academic and community respirologists, nurses, respiratory therapists, physiotherapists and pharmacists. Over the 3 days, there were more than 270 health professionals joining in on engaging scientific sessions, plenary sessions and debates (http://lungontario.ca/forhealth-professionals/better-breathing-conference/). New this year was the Respiratory Therapy Society of Ontario (RTSO) education program on January 26th, featuring acute and community care streams. Dr. Tai Pham MD PhD and Thomas Piraino RRT FCSRT presented the WIND and LUNG SAFE studies and RRTs Ana MacPherson, Madonna Ferrone & Christina Dolgowicz presented Blazing New Trails in Changing Healthcare System. The RTSO also sponsored the ORCS/ RTSO poster session, followed by the RTSO Awards Ceremony, with a cocktail reception. We’ve included some highlights and photos from January 26th in this issue…we hope you enjoy the glimpse enough to join us next year! You can watch some great video testimonials on why you should attend Better Breathing at http://lungontario.ca/for-health-professionals/better-breathing-conference/videotestimonials/ The RTSO hopes to continue to grow this collaboration with our lung health partners and supporters, for years to come!
