Dear IPCRG Colleague,

IPCRG adds value to respiratory health by contributing education and research that improves the confidence and competence of primary care to address today's issues. So, in this month's newsletter we are excited to reveal two excellent GP speakers on planetary health who will speak at our world conference in Athens, as well as our new desktop helper on asthma diagnosis. We also share the success of new tools for COPD management, and highlight multiple research and education collaborations in Asia, Tunisia and Latin America, as ever, representing and developing the primary care role.
