Like other charities, @asthmalungni.bsky.social was surprised by news that Health Minister Mike Nesbitt MLA has resigned. Under Minister Nesbitt we saw the respiratory forum re-established, new respiratory pathways developed, and lung health featuring in the Neighbourhood Model. Thank you Mike

Today we are at the @scottishgreens.org conference in Glasgow to talk about our manifesto 'Our Battle for Breathe' with MSPs and candidates for the upcoming Holyrood election. We're asking Scottish Green candidates to support our policy priorities to improve the nation's lung health.

Excited to be back in my spare room / office today after last week’s decorating. Change of colour probably won’t show on blurred background. Need some new curtains and holding off putting up maps of devolved parliamentarians until after the next elections

I left Cardiff at 4am on Thursday and have just arrived back at 1.30am on Saturday morning. 2 long days in Letterkenny, but great to launch Peace-Air

With hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have gone for a run this morning. It wasn’t as icy as I feared but there were some slippy pavements on the way back, forcing me to go on the road. Nice to go for a run, but probably a bit dangerous

Merry Christmas to everyone living with a lung condition in the devolved nations. Merry Christmas also to all our amazing volunteers, health care professionals and supportive politicians, who work with @asthmaandlung.org.uk to improve the lives of people with lung conditions

Early morning run with a difference. I had some Christmas cards that needed hand delivering, so I adapted my route to go to all the houses I needed to visit
