Join the ACPRC Committee

Could you be our next research champion or our NEW guest home ventilation champion? 

We have two committee posts available from January 2026. For further details and to discuss either opportunity in more detail, please contact chair@acrpc.org.uk 

Research champion:

 Dr Adam Lewis completes his term at the end of 2025, so we are looking for our next research champion. This role supports members with research activities, which includes leading the abstract submission and presentation process for our 2027 conference. As a full member of the committee, the champion also has the opportunity to contribute to delivering the ACPRC’s strategic vision. They will also be invited to all committee meetings (two days in January, an online meeting in July, half a day in November). Ideally, the research champion will be a clinician, researcher or educator with some experience of delivering research (including clinical audit or service evaluations). Full training will be given. Postgraduate education (such as an MSc) is not a prerequisite of this role, an enthusiasm for research is essential.   

NEW guest home ventilation champion:

Following feedback from our members, we are inviting applications for a guest home ventilation champion, for a term of 16 months. Our guest champion will be a full committee member with responsibility for organising a short course, lunchtime webinar and contributing to the 2027 conference programme. They will also beinvited to all committee meetings (two days in January, an online meeting in July, half a day in November). Ideally, the guest champion will have clinical experience of supporting people requiring home ventilation and be passionate about supporting people with respiratory conditions in the community.
