Just wondering as in all places the Daily Mail (dailymail.co.uk/health/arti... has written about the British Thoracic Society's conference recently.
The headline was ""Lack of care for lung patients"" with regards to a shortage of specialist units. Lung patients are being neglected with priority and funds going to cancer and heart services.
Wonder what was actually said there but haven't found it yet.

Yeah, I've seen a ""Respiratory Care Unit"" on a resp ward, with specialist help for people with serious problems. But in some other hospitals, I haven't seen one.
My local has a dedictaed resp ward with 2 beds which can be used with the equvalent being to step down on HDU otherwise i guess its just the bog standard ITU/HDU/resp wareds!
