NRS Swierenga Medal
Congratulations to Professor Peter Wijkstra for winning the 2026 NRS Swierenga Penning
Over the course of his career, Prof. Wijkstra combined clinical care, including chronic non-invasive ventilation, sleep apnoea, diaphragm dysfunction, and complex weaning, with education and supervision of students, physicians (in training), and PhD candidates. He held key national and international leadership roles, including chair and president of the NVALT and NRS, and served as Treasurer of the European Respiratory Society (ERS). His work contributed to advances in chronic ventilation, ALS care, diaphragm pacing, and guideline development.
