Today, we stand with communities around the world to acknowledge World COPD Day, an annual initiative coordinated by Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease - GOLD to raise awareness and reduce the global impact of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

The 2025 theme, “Short of Breath, Think COPD,” is especially important for Māori and Pasifika communities, where COPD is often underdiagnosed and symptoms may be overlooked or attributed to other conditions.

COPD should be considered in anyone who has:
➡️ Ongoing breathlessness
➡️ Chronic cough or mucus
➡️ Regular chest infections
➡️ Past or current exposure to to***co, cooking smoke, or workplace dusts

Early diagnosis matters, and earlier treatment can lead to:
✔ Fewer symptoms
✔ Improved lung function
✔ Better quality of life
✔ Reduced hospitalisations

At PCRN, we are proud to work alongside health professionals, educators, and patient advocates across Aotearoa to support earlier recognition, better management, and stronger research outcomes for COPD.

Let’s raise awareness and support healthier futures for our communities.

We’re proud to be collaborating with the University of Auckland's Centre for Brain Research and Dr Richard Roxburgh on a clinical trial testing a potential genetic therapy for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).

This rare condition currently has no treatment that changes its course. The investigational therapy aims to use epigenetic editing delivered through a modified virus to suppress the faulty DUX4 gene.

This research represents an important step forward in understanding and managing FSHD for patients around the world.

9 sites. 1 team.

The PCRN whānau came together for our mid-year conference recently. It was a powerful chance to connect, reflect, and re-energise for the rest of the year.

💡 The theme, “Energy That Shapes Us,” sparked conversations not just about clinical research, but also about our mental wellbeing and the energy we bring to both our work and our personal lives.

🙏 A huge thank you to , whose session on personal energy and wellbeing really hit home. We’re still thinking about her words! We left feeling more aligned, more inspired, and more connected than ever.

🧠 Do you or someone you know suffer from migraines? Migraines can have serious negative psychosocial impacts on one’s life, affecting mental health, social life, and work, with some individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and social isolation. These impacts can lead to reduced quality of life and increased feelings of helplessness.

Migraines are among the top disabling conditions globally. PCRN is proud to support trials aiming to improve the quality of life for those affected.
