Today, the National Respiratory Audit Programme (NRAP) has launched the 2024–25 State of the Nation report. The report ‘Room to breathe: A longitudinal review of respiratory data' presents data on the care received by people with asthma and COPD in hospital, and of people with COPD accessing pulmonary rehabilitation. This year, NRAP reports on data from around 100,000 acute admissions and nearly 48,000 pulmonary rehabilitation assessments across England and Wales.

The report provides a focused update on progress against key performance indicators (KPIs) across all workstreams from 2021–22 to 2024–25.

"Participating in the Med26 abstract competition was both inspiring and rewarding. The high standard of presentations and breadth of research created an intellectually stimulating environment, while the conference provided excellent opportunities for discussion, networking, and professional development. Winning was an unexpected honour and a significant confidence boost. I would strongly encourage resident doctors to take part – it’s an excellent platform to showcase your work, develop presentation skills, and connect with peers from across the profession."
