Pulmonology & Beyond
New Age Pulmonologists Association is a member-led society focused on collegial conversation, networking events, sport and wellness, mentorship, and unique programmes that go beyond standard CME formats. We call it the NAPA way!
Overview
NAPA began as a place for pulmonologists to speak openly, beyond slide-heavy CME with room for dialogue on practice, wellbeing, and life as a clinician.
Talks range from clinical questions to the practical side of work: administration, finances, and balance with peers who share the specialty.
150+ members now take part; senior colleagues mentor newer ones on practice and planning, and the network has helped with roles and placements too.
Our meetings are grounded in dialogue about clinical practice, career choices, and life beyond the hospital, complemented by structured learning whenever the calendar allows.

Leadership & Core Committee
The core committee brings together pulmonologists committed to transparent governance and a member-first culture.
Get involved
Pharmaceutical and medtech companies aligned with pulmonary, sleep health innovation and education.
Medical colleges and research institutes for joint publications, fellowships, and CME collaborations.
Community health organizations working on respiratory awareness, clean air, and preventive pulmonology.
Who we are
A space for genuine relationships, not only exchanging cards, but sharing difficult cases and honest perspective.
Structured touchpoints to meet and work with specialists across cities, so collaboration feels natural, not formalised to a fault.
Wellness, travel, and shared experiences matter, and medicine is sustained when people are.
Forward looking in how we communicate, convene, and celebrate wins, with small details that keep a busy specialty community engaged all year.
“Trust between referring colleagues is built in conversation, not only on credentials.” — NAPA
What we focus on
Our calendar is organised around three ideas: bring people together, help them grow, and elevate respiratory health in the public conversation — with members seen as credible voices.
Annual forums, city meet-ups, curated dinners, and destination programmes designed as memorable chapters — not calendar clutter.
Introductions across metros, subspecialty interests, and career stages — informal when it helps, intentional when it counts.
Respiratory health campaigns, education for the public, and media collaborations that position members as approachable experts.
NAPA’s promise: every programme is meant to add tangible value to your reputation as a clinician and quality of life as a person. Not tick box activity!
Member journey
Membership is designed for depth: voice in the field, research momentum, leadership inside the association, and fair access to industry dialogue — without turning medicine into marketing.
Platforms to speak, publish, and be recognised as a thoughtful contributor to respiratory medicine.
Co-authoring, multi-centre conversations, and national data efforts where your insight matters.
Shape chapters, co-create gatherings, and influence how the association evolves — not as a spectator.
Preferred routes to ethical pharma collaboration, advisory conversations, and innovation panels — with guardrails that protect credibility.
Doctor life
A healthy physician ecosystem is part of patient outcomes. NAPA invests in mental health literacy, movement, travel, and everyday perks that honour the weight of your work.
Curated resources, peer circles, and expert-led sessions on stress, boundaries, and burnout prevention.
Challenges, sports meet-ups, and retreats that keep energy and camaraderie high.
Group travel experiences — domestic and international — planned for busy clinicians and their families where relevant.
Select benefits across dining, stays, fitness, and brands — a small thank-you for big responsibility.
Membership
NAPA connects you to a relevant peer group committed to clinical quality, mutual support, and sustainable careers in pulmonary & sleep medicine.
Peer learning, trusted referrals, and collaboration that makes everyday decisions sharper.
A culture of respect and warmth — relationships that outlast any single event cycle.
Wellness and experiences that remind you why the work mattered in the first place.
