In this episode, specialist pleural nurses Hannah and Jen host an in-depth conversation with two experienced colleagues, Maria Parsonage and Adam Peel, to discuss the unique blend of clinical practice, service development, and research that defines modern pleural nursing. They share their personal journeys into pleural nursing, and explore how the role has evolved, the expanding responsibilities of pleural nurse specialists, and the growing contribution of nurses to pleural research and patient care.
In this episode, we sit down with David Arnold and Thisarana Wijayaratne, two pleural fellows – one research (now a newly appointed consultant) and one clinical, to hear their first-hand experiences of fellowship training. They share what drew them to the field, how to go about applying for fellowships, and what day-to-day life as a fellow looks like.
Whether you're a trainee considering applying, a clinician curious about fellowship pathways, or someone interested in the future of pleural practice and research, this conversation offers practical insights and honest reflections from those who have lived the experience.
