This invitation-only gathering will convene leadership from medical societies and patient organisations, alongside policymakers, to redefine prevention as the cornerstone of patient care. Not only before disease develops, but also in those suffering from CRDs.
The Respiratory SUMMIT 2026 was a landmark event that took place on June 19th, 2026 in London, UK, bringing together global leaders in respiratory medicine to explore a paradigm shift in how we approach chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs).
This invitation-only gathering convened leadership from medical societies and patient organisations, alongside policymakers, to redefine prevention as the cornerstone of patient care. Not only before disease develops, but also in those suffering from CRDs.
José Luis Castro, WHO Director-General Special Envoy for Chronic Respiratory Diseases, delivered the keynote lecture. The programme included a high-level symposium addressing the full prevention spectrum from primary to quaternary prevention, followed by a panel discussion and press conference.
