Siân Williams has been working in the field of respiratory health for over 20 years.  She has a curious career, having graduated in History of Art, working as a tour manager for a national ballet company, and then becoming a national management trainee with the UK National Health Service. Also public-health trained at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, she became interested in large-scale improvement focused on respiratory health including programme managing IMPRESS, co-leading the London Respiratory Network and also Helping Smokers Quit in London. She also co-founded the International Primary Care Respiratory Group, a global respiratory network with primary care colleagues in 2000. She has always danced and been interested in movement.  More recently, she has returned to these roots by undertaking a diploma for leading dance for older people.  She has been running dance sessions for older people who are breathless from chronic respiratory problems, working closely with the British Lung Foundation Breathe Easy support group in Haringey, London since 2017.
