Welcome to the September 2018 issue of Breathe

This issue is my last as chief editor of Breathe. It has been a real privilege to serve in this role for the past 3 years. I am most grateful for all of the effort and time the members of the editorial board, the talented and dedicated editorial team in Sheffield, and above all, our contributors have put into making Breathe an outstanding educational journal in the respiratory field. Our online presence has increased over the past 3 years as our international profile has likewise expanded. We have accommodated more features of interest, with excellent involvement of the Early Career Members' Committee of the ERS as well as the European Lung Foundation and patient representatives. I am also grateful to all those who responded to our Proustian questionnaires to bring to life the person behind the role in Confidences de Salon and the Assembly secretaries who contributed to explaining a little more about their Assembly's purpose within the ERS structure as a whole in Meet the Assemblies. I am especially grateful to John Murchison who has selected and reviewed cases for Radiology corner, and to Andrea Aliverti and Antonella Lo Mauro who have worked so hard in promoting the importance of respiratory physiology. I am grateful to Frits Franssen for piloting the online Journal Club, and wish to thank all those who contributed and participated. The September issue of Breathe focuses on facets of respiratory care and compromise in the context of lifestyle http://ow.ly/nBkc30lb0S6
