Respiratory Medicine | RCPE Events

Horizontal

Overview

This one day respiratory symposium is designed for all general physicians, doctors of all training grades across the medical specialties, specialist nurses, physiotherapists and physician associates. And for all practising respiratory physicians and respiratory trainees!

Given the changes in implementation in health care, the first session discusses how technological advances plus less variation in care can help both clinicians and patients with respiratory disorders; sessions thereafter cover more “bread and butter” topics such as pleural effusions, lung cancer pathways, parenchymal lung diseases and matters relating to critical care.

All lectures will be given in a concise, engaging and snappy manner. Attendees will leave the symposium with enhanced and refreshed knowledge directly applicable to everyday working practice. It is expected that a stimulus will be provided on how existing practices - irrespective of geographical location - should and could change to improve the NHS and all stakeholders in its 70^th year.
