The Scottish Thoracic Society (STS) Annual Meeting 2026 returns to the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh for a comprehensive day dedicated to the latest advancements in respiratory medicine. This gathering serves as the premier forum for chest physicians, thoracic surgeons, and respiratory scientists across Scotland to present original research and discuss regional healthcare challenges.
The 2026 program places a significant emphasis on lung infections, which continue to place a heavy burden on the NHS. Dedicated sessions will explore the complexities of bronchiectasis management, the rising incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria, and the evolving landscape of fungal lung infections. A highlight of the meeting is the multidisciplinary approach to surgical interventions, where surgeons and physicians debate the timing and efficacy of operative treatments for chronic lung disease.
In addition to the keynote lectures, the meeting features a competitive abstract session where trainees and researchers present their latest findings. This fosters a vibrant environment of academic inquiry and professional development. The event also includes an extensive trade exhibition, allowing attendees to interact with industry partners and explore new diagnostic technologies and pharmacotherapies. For those practicing in Scotland, this meeting is more than just a clinical update; it is a vital networking hub that shapes the future of thoracic care and collaborative research in the region.
