I’m standing to be the next Labour Leader. Politics needs honest voices. Only when we are honest again, with ourselves & with the country, will we become the people who get to make the decisions. I can’t do this alone. Join me to help make things better at JessPhillips.net


Our new paper shows the suitability of a simple handheld device as a #COPD screening test within primary care patients, prior to diagnostic spirometry nature.com/articles/s4153…

Just received a delivery of equipment for my first (very small) #copd study as PI! Exciting times ahead!
