At the ERS Congress in 2025, ERS introduced a new programme format: Patient-centred studio sessions. Supported by the European Lung Foundation (ELF), these sessions were designed to place patients’ perspectives at the heart of scientific and clinical discussion.

The content on this page was originally delivered live at the ERS Congress 2025 and is shared here for on-demand viewing. The recordings are published to extend the reach of these discussions beyond the Congress and to support ongoing learning and collaboration across the respiratory community.

Patient-centred studio sessions (recordings from ERS Congress 2025)


New for 2025, the patient-centred studio sessions brought together patients, patient advocates and healthcare professionals for open, meaningful dialogue.

Key features of the patient-centred studio sessions included:

  • A strong focus on lived experience alongside clinical and research expertise
  • Interactive discussion between patients and professionals
  • Live broadcast from the Congress to enable wider engagement
  • Exploration of topics directly relevant to patient care, involvement and partnership in respiratory health

Following the positive reception of these sessions at the 2025 Congress, ERS has confirmed that patient-centred studio sessions will return in 2026.

Each of the recordings below reflects the interactive nature of the sessions and highlights the value of patient–professional partnership in advancing respiratory care.

Wednesday workshop recording: patient involvement in respiratory health


In addition to the studio sessions, this page also includes a recording from a Wednesday workshop.

Wednesday workshops are designed as more in-depth, exploratory sessions. The workshop featured here focused on patient involvement, bringing together experts and patient representatives to examine key issues affecting respiratory health.

This session provided:

  • A space for deeper discussion and shared learning
  • Multiple perspectives on patient involvement in research, care and policy
  • Practical insights into challenges and opportunities for meaningful engagement
