Bronchiectasis can be reversed in children if optimal treatment is started early! Listen for wet cough for more than 4 weeks. Take your child to the clinic if they show these signs.

Led by Prof Anne Chang, learn how the #AusHSIRespiratory research program is working to improve the #lunghealth of children with #bronchiectasis and cough-related illnesses, ensuring that they receive the best medical care. AusBREATHE #WorldBronchiectasisDay COPD Foundation

AusBREATHE CRE is led by Professor Anne Chang, a leading researcher with international recognition in #cough, #bronchiectasis and evidence-based medicine related to #paediatricrespirology. Her research groups are based in Darwin (Menzies Research) and Brisbane (AusHSI & QUT).

Many parents have not heard of #bronchiectasis until their child has been diagnosed. Check out the #AusHSIRespiratory research group's guide to resources that can support families: bit.ly/aushsibronres AusBREATHE #WorldBronchiectasisDay Child-BEAR-Net Lung Foundation Australia

We will be hosting a live webinar for primary HPs discussing the evidence of chronic wet cough in Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander children & ways of applying culturally secure strategies that address enablers & barriers to improve respiratory outcomes. shorturl.at/qBOUX
