Assemblies

Specialised scientific and clinical sections of the APSR are formed into Assemblies.

The purpose of these includes the production of clinical guidelines and position statements, and assistance in fostering and improving clinical practice and research. As such, Assemblies are in a prime position to help develop the scientific programme of the annual APSR Congresses.

APSR members are encouraged to apply to join one or more Assemblies which currently cover the following broad fields:

Clinical Respiratory Medicine
Cell and Molecular Biology
Clinical Allergy and Immunology
Environmental & Occupational Health and Epidemiology
Respiratory Infections (non-tuberculous)
Tuberculosis
COPD
Asthma
Lung Cancer
Respiratory Neurobiology and Sleep
Critical Care Medicine
Bronchoscopy and Interventional Techniques
Paediatric lung disease
Respiratory Structure and Function
Pulmonary Circulation
Interstitial Lung Disease

The Head of each Assembly is elected by the membership of that Assembly. All Heads serve on the Central Congress Committee and one is that Committee's Chairperson. Two of the Heads serve on the APSR Executive Committee.

Further details can be found in Article 6 of the Society's Charter and Bylaws.
