One of the most interesting insights from the 27th Occupational Health Forum in Deggendorf was the growing impact of climate change on occupational health.  Discussions highlighted how rising temperatures, air quality challenges, and more frequent extreme weather events can affect employees' health, wellbeing, and ability to work. These developments also reinforce the importance of respiratory health and the role of diagnostic tools in identifying and monitoring respiratory conditions at an early stage.  Discussions highlighted how rising temperatures, air quality challenges, and more frequent extreme weather events can affect employees' health, wellbeing, and ability to work. These developments also reinforce the importance of respiratory health and the role of diagnostic tools in identifying and monitoring respiratory conditions at an early stage.  It was a reminder that occupational health is increasingly shaped by wider societal challenges, extending far beyond traditional workplace risks. 

As a member of the Taskforce for Lung Health, Vitalograph was proudly represented by Chief Science and Strategy Officer, Helen Venn, who travelled to Westminster yesterday to support the call for government to commit to the development and implementation of a respiratory Modern Service Framework (MSF). 🫁Respiratory conditions affect around one in six people in England and are the third leading cause of death, yet we still lack a co-ordinated, system-wide approach to tackle this. A respiratory Modern Service Framework (MSF) is our opportunity to change that. The Taskforce for Lung Health’s new report outlines the need and impact of a respiratory MSF. Read the full report below 👇 The evidence already exists, and so does the consensus. Patients, carers, clinicians, researchers, charities, professional bodies and industry are united behind the need for a respiratory MSF. A respiratory MSF would raise the bar for lung health, close widening inequalities, and spread proven, scalable, ready-to-implement solutions. https://hubs.ly/Q04nXkf80 #respiratoryhealth #spirometry #chroniccough

One week to go! Join us for our next expert-led webinar with Dr. Rory Chan - Pulmonary Function Tests: A Critical Tool in the Patient Pathway. Tune in to discover how pulmonary function tests can enable better clinical decisions across the respiratory patient pathway - including spirometry, DLCO, body plethysmography, FeNO and oscillometry. Grounded in the latest BTS, NICE, SIGN and GOLD guidance, this webinar combines current evidence with real-world clinical examples to help you apply learning directly in practice. 👉 Register now: https://hubs.ly/Q04lH2Xr0 #RespiratoryCare #PFT #ClinicalEducation

Asthma ist mit rund 6,7 Millionen Diagnosen (Stand 2019) die zahlenmäßig bedeutsamste Erkrankung unter den chronischen Lungenerkrankungen in Deutschland. Da viele Asthma-Diagnosen bereits im Kindesalter gestellt werden, sind Lungenfunktionstests bei Kindern besonders wichtig. Nach Zahlen des Weißbuchs Lunge, das sich auf anonymisierte deutschlandweite Daten der BARMER Ersatzkasse stützt, sind über eine Million Kinder und Jugendliche von Asthma betroffen (Stand 2019; Alter: 0–19 Jahre). Für die Altersgruppe der 10- bis 19-Jährigen beträgt die Diagnoseprävalenz rund 8,3 % mit steigender Tendenz. Für die Diagnose von Asthma sind Spirometrie-Tests unverzichtbar. Wer schon einmal einen FVC-Test durchgeführt hat, weiß, dass Spirometrie sowohl für Patientinnen und Patienten als auch für medizinisches Fachpersonal herausfordernd sein kann. Wir waren vergangene Woche erneut als Aussteller auf dem #BVKJ Kinder- und Jugendärztetag 2026 vertreten und haben uns sehr über Rückmeldungen wie „Ah, da ist unsere LuFu“ gefreut. Deshalb haben wir in der vergangenen Woche mehrere Spirometrie-Tests durchgeführt, um das Spirometrie-Wissen aufzufrischen. Denn je sicherer MFAs sowie Ärztinnen und Ärzte in der Durchführung der Tests sind, desto leichter fällt es ihnen, Kinder während der Untersuchung anzuleiten und zu motivieren.

Bronchiectasis continues to present significant diagnostic challenges, despite growing awareness and evolving clinical guidance. Too often, patients face long delays in diagnosis, with symptoms frequently mistaken for asthma or COPD.  Drawing on insights from the European Medical Journal, our latest Insight article explores how advanced respiratory diagnostics can help close this gap, supporting earlier, more accurate diagnosis and improved disease monitoring.  👉 Read more: https://hubs.ly/Q04mNkfw0 #Bronchiectasis #RespiratoryDiagnostics #WBConf26 #EMBARC
