Hot Topics in Sustainability
10 episodes
Chiesi believes that true ‘sustainability’ can only be achieved with a broad array of projects that protect both our patients and the planet. As such this defines our actions, and the way that we do business. In recognition to our commitment to sustainability, Chiesi is proud to have been recognised as a certified B Corp and committed in 2019 to becoming carbon neutral by the end of 2035 well ahead of the 2050 target set out in the Paris agreement – and 15 years ahead of the UK national target1,2.
This podcast series aims to demystify the various terminology used when discussing carbon neutrality in relation to sustainable respiratory care, explores how the environment impacts patients respiratory wellbeing and looks into the carbon footprint associated with sustainable respiratory care and what the health care community can do to be more environmentally focussed without limiting patient choice.

Hot Topics in Cystic Fibrosis
6 episodes
The first CFTR modulator became available on the NHS in December 2016 and was made available for around 5% of pwCF1. In 2022, around 90% of pwCF2 in the UK are suitable for CFTR modulator therapy.
Whilst there is no doubt CFTR modulators have positively and dramatically altered the disease pathway of cystic fibrosis3-5, there remains a level of uncertainty around how to manage the changing clinical picture of cystic fibrosis alongside these transformational medicines. This podcast series is designed to discuss some of the challenges of ‘Life alongside CFTR modulators.’

Hot Topics in Neonatology
6 episodes
The management of neonatal complications are complex and require a holistic approach, particularly for preterm infants who may be more vulnerable. There are many clinical challenges to consider in the first 24 hours of life for a neonate and these complications require round-the-clock care from a team of clinical experts. Chiesi has therefore brought together a panel of consultant neonatologists with specific expertise in some of the clinical challenges that neonates face in their first 24 hours of life.
