ACPRC Connect

Connect is the ACPRC's dedicated space for building relationships, sharing knowledge, and driving progress across respiratory physiotherapy in the UK.

Bringing together the work of two previously separate groups, Respiratory Leaders and Regional Reps, Connect broadens the reach of both, creating a single, more joined-up network without replacing either. It reflects our commitment to ensuring that expertise, innovation, and national priorities don't sit in silos, but are shared across the whole specialty for everyone's benefit.

At its heart, Connect is home to the Respiratory Leaders Group (can you hyperlink this to the page?), a forum for leaders in respiratory physiotherapy to discuss the operational realities of service delivery, share innovations in practice, and benchmark services across the country to improve patient experience and outcomes. The group also plays an active role in supporting and driving national agendas from NHS England, as part of the ACPRC's wider accountability to the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.

A key development within Connect is a dedicated information and results sharing component, ensuring that discussions, decisions, and outcomes from across the network are disseminated more widely, so that all members can learn from and contribute to the conversation, regardless of their role or region.

If you're looking for expertise within the network, head to the Skills Hub ; a searchable directory of Respiratory Leaders members, filterable by region and specialist interest, to help you find the right person to connect with.

Please do not hesitate to contact Catrin Emery (Connect Champion) connect@acprc.org.uk if you have any queries or concerns.
