Group of Occupational Respiratory Disease Specialists (GORDS)

The Group of Occupational Respiratory Disease Specialists (or GORDS) is a UK network of around 15 consultant respiratory physicians, established by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Each member is either employed by the NHS or a university, and has both clinical and research interests in occupational asthma and other occupational lung diseases.

GORDS was established in 2001 to provide a readily accessible specialist knowledge base in the field of occupational respiratory disease and has a primary remit of providing direction to HSE policy and input to and critical review of research undertaken for HSE in the field of occupational respiratory disease.

The GORDS group currently has representation from a number of specialist occupational respiratory centres located across the UK, including in Aberdeen, Birmingham, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield.
