Abstract

This article summarises some of the outstanding sessions that were (co)organised by the Allied Respiratory Professionals Assembly during the 2023 European Respiratory Society International Congress. Two sessions from each Assembly group are outlined, covering the following topics: Group 9.01 focuses on respiratory physiology techniques, specifically on predicted values and reference equations, device development and novel applications of cardiopulmonary exercise tests; Group 9.02 presents an overview of the talks given at the mini-symposium on exercise training, physical activity and self-management at home and outlines some of the best abstracts in respiratory physiotherapy; Group 9.03 highlights the nursing role in global respiratory health and presents nursing interventions and outcomes; and Group 9.04 provides an overview of the best abstracts and recent advances in behavioural science and health psychology. This Highlights article provides valuable insight into the latest scientific data and emerging areas affecting the clinical practice of Allied Respiratory Professionals.
