Congratulations to our own Lead Respiratory Physiologist Matt Rutter for his appointment as Vice Chair of ARTP - we look forward to seeing the fantastic things you will do in the next 4 years ARTP

Congratulations to our own Chris Harding appointed ARTP vice spirometry chair, looking forward to the seeing the exciting plans for spirometry teaching, qualification and guidance! ARTP @artp

Travelling back from #ARTP2024 Reflecting on the fantastic research which has been presented by both Cambridge University Hospitals NHS and our Cambridge colleagues at Royal Papworth Respiratory Physiology Thank you ARTP ARTP Chair for an excellent few days!

Tonight we celebrate the amazing achievement and hard work of the team who have completed their ARTP practitioner qualification! Portfolio of evidence, MCQs, calculation, practical exams and clinical viva highlight not only competence but commitment to excellence Congratulations!

Josh Royal Papworth Respiratory Physiology CPET lead, this afternoon giving a fantastic overview of pre-operative CPET and an insight into the pectus excavatum and heart transplant exercise test performed at Royal Papworth Hospital NHS FT 💙 #ARTP2024 #cambridgerespphysiology

Jess Royal Papworth Respiratory Physiology presenting The risks of applying normative values in paediatric cardiopulmonary exercise testing: A case report. Highlighting the importance of understanding the reference values being used #ARTP2024 #cambridgerespphysiology

Josh Royal Papworth Respiratory Physiology presenting An unusual physiological response to exercise in an adult Fontan patient case study! Highlighting a unique physiological response to exercise with the temporary loss of oxygen delivery.

Ben, Royal Papworth Respiratory Physiology this morning presenting Deriving the optimal VO2 at AT / PredPeakVO2 threshold for predicting low peak VO2, initiating great discussion around the potential for sub-maximal exercise testing giving strong diagnostic accuracy #ARTP2024 #cambridgerespphysiology

Great to see such a broad representation of posters and oral presentations by the Cambridge teams CUH Respiratory Physiology and Royal Papworth Respiratory Physiology at the ARTP conference this year. Well done to all those presenting. Have a great conference!!

Oral Presentations this afternoon being closed by Lucy Robertson Royal Papworth Respiratory Physiology - Could the 6-minute-walk test be shortened in duration and still capture significant oxygen desaturations in patients with ILD? - highlighting uses of a 3-minute walk test with a ILD population!

This afternoons posters kicked off by Ashleigh Cambridge University Hospitals NHS presenting research - Impact of applying adult and paediatric scoring criteria on sleep disordered breathing grading severity in a cohort of an adolescents! Highlighting a change being found in severity classification!

Research presented by Bryn Peter Williams Royal Papworth Respiratory Physiology on home spirometry looked at A retrospective review of home-based spirometry quality in an adult lung transplant cohort and Home-based spirometry: is one effort enough?
#artp2023 #cambridgerespphysiology

The suitability of obtaining a single acceptable gas transfer result presented by Josh from Royal Papworth Respiratory Physiology this morning, highlighting negligible differences if one manoeuvre is taken! #artp2024 #cambridgerespphysiology

Patients experiences are vital to shaping our practice, thank you to our own Matt Rutter for sharing his own experience of breathlessness! #ARTP2024

Lots of fantastic reseach across both Cambridge University Hospitals NHS and Royal Papworth Respiratory Physiology being presented at ARTP 2024 over many topics, including; Gas Transfer, 6MWT, FOT, home spirometry, service assurance, CPET and sleep! Highlighting the amazing work being performed in Cambridge! #ARTP2024

Kicking off the conference is Lead Respiratory Physiologist Matt Rutter , chairing a session on the fundamentals of physiology and lung volume measurements. #ARTP2024

Cambridge Respiratory Physiology have arrived at the annual ARTP conference this year hosted in Harrogate, 2 days of learning, Reseach and networking.

Last few days to apply for a senior paediatric sleep/respiratory physiologist role. A great opportunity to develop sleep and respiratory skills in paediatrics.

It is Healthcare Science Week and we have a fantastic group of healthcare scientists to celebrate Cambridge University Hospitals NHS. Thank you for all the efforts of our Respiratory Physiologists and other Physiological Science colleagues #HealthcareScienceWeek2024

This week we said goodbye 👋 and thank you to Angel, she’s been with us for over 2 years and we wish her luck in her new role in Colchester.

We are also pleased 😃 to say hello to our new starter James, welcome to the world of respiratory physiology🫁! #respisbest
