Children and infants are not simply small adults and require special consideration when planning aerosol-mediated inhalation drug therapy. Further, the variety of presentations in children and infants is vast, and includes a disparate range that includes ~0.5kg premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), term infants with (RSV) infection and older children with complications associated with lung infection or Pulmonary Hypertension as examples.  With continual advances in formulation, aerosol generator technology, patient interventions and patient interfaces, several options are now available to both designers of drug/device combination products, and caregivers at the bedside tasked with the selection and use of these products.

The Aerosol Society recognises the importance of our diverse community and believe that to produce the best quality science we must encourage a proactive and inclusive approach to equality. This can be achieved by developing and retaining a diverse range of talented people to achieve their full potential free from discrimination. We acknowledge our role in engaging with the wider aerosol science community to develop a fair and friendly environment by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion for all, recognising that we come from varying backgrounds and experiences.
