Hilary Pinnock
Hilary Pinnock is Professor of Primary Care Respiratory Medicine at
the University of Edinburgh (Edinburgh, UK). She leads
programmes of work in the Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research
and the RESPIRE Global Health Research Unit funded by the
National Institute for Health and Care Research. She is co-Lead of
the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Clinical Research
Collaboration CONNECT, which focuses on implementation of
digital respiratory care.
Building on a career as a family physician, her research focusses
on delivery of care. Specific examples include the IMP2ART
(IMPlementing IMProved Asthma self-management as RouTine)
programme of work, which developed and evaluated imple-
mentation strategies that facilitate supported asthma self-
management in routine care, and the Telescot programme, which
tested and implemented digital health for respiratory and other
noncommunicable diseases. With the RESPIRE team in
Bangladesh, India and Malaysia, she is leading a programme of
work delivering pulmonary rehabilitation (both home-based and
centre-based) in low-resource settings, which will be evaluated in
the PuRe trial (funded by the Medical Research Council). Previous
projects include exploring supportive care for people with severe
COPD and the potential of general practitioners with special
clinical interests to enhance healthcare delivery. Building research
capacity is embedded in this work and all the programmes have
attached PhD students, incorporate Masters and undergraduate
projects, and support the professional development of early career
researchers.
Hilary is Chair of the Education Council of the ERS and has been
actively involved with the International Primary Care Respiratory
Group (IPCRG). She is a member of the British Thoracic Society
(BTS)/Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) British
Asthma Guideline Development Group, and is an Associate Editor
of npj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine.
