In conversation with Women in Respiratory

Tuesday 3 March, 4pm

We are delighted to host a webinar to mark International Women’s Day 2026, which features Ms Rachael Moses, Professor Anita Simonds, Dr Nafisa Hussain, Dr Hitasha Rupani and Dr Odiri Eneje in conversation.

The theme for International Women’s Day is “Give to Gain” – join us to hear our panel discuss their experiences of leadership, and how the power of championing the visibility and contribution of women across all aspects of respiratory medicine creates a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.

This webinar is truly inclusive and open to all. There will be time for you to ask questions and get involved in the discussion.

Book your space.
