Pompe Perspectives: Respiratory Analytix Takes the Stage
In October 2023, Manchester hosted the International Pompe Conference, focusing on the rare genetic disorder causing progressive weakness in the heart, skeletal, and respiratory muscles. Respiratory Analytix was invited to present a comprehensive overview of complex respiratory physiology tests. This case study examines the conference’s key challenges, Nigel Clayton’s solutions, the implementation of his insights, and the tangible results achieved in advancing the understanding and management of respiratory complications in Pompe patients.
Client Profile
- Client Name: Salford Northern Care AllianceÂ
- Venue: Pendulum Hotel and Conference Centre, Manchester
- Delegates: ~25 medical professionals specialising in neurological disorders
Challenge
