Welcome to the first edition of 2008 and my first as Editor in Chief. I want to
thank Jan Procter-King, my predecessor, who has performed an outstanding
role and left the journal in a robust position. I would also like to thank the
members of the Editorial Board – in particular those who have left us or
joined since the last edition. Education for Health (formerly the National
Respiratory Training Centre) has a long reputation in respiratory disease and
we are delighted to be bringing this expertise to the BJPCN Editorial Board.
