Real life research is becoming increasingly important for driving the development of better management options for obstructive airways diseases – asthma, COPD and bronchiectasis (BE). There is a need for more knowledge in the research community about how to overcome these challenges.

The X International Workshop on Lung Health is an international meeting devoted to the last updates in Respiratory Medicine. The workshop will also cover, as per tradition, a wide range of topics in the field of respiratory medicine, such as respiratory infections, asthma, COPD and related pathologies.

Physicians learn mostly from the cases they have seen in clinical practice and discussed with their colleagues. The authors of the case learning section therefore believe that learning with cases is the best way to master medicine. The cases are presented in an interactive way from symptom to diagnosis including self-evaluation of the participants` knowledge. At the end of each section, references for further reading are displayed.

The purpose of ERS HERMES Examination is to assess the knowledge of candidates in respiratory medicine. As this is a summative assessment, the purpose is to distinguish successful candidates, who prove that their knowledge is up-to-date and matches European standards in respiratory medicine.

This session provides a unique opportunity to test your applied knowledge in adult respiratory medicine against 30 high-quality, case-based multiple-choice questions, selected from the question pool of the ERS HERMES European examination in adult respiratory medicine. All answers are then explained and discussed with a content expert.

In this webinar, two experts in the field will address the evidence available to date in relation to SITT in patients with COPD exacerbated to define in which patients to start maintenance with triple therapy, and discuss on other hot topics related to clinical management of COPD such as the relationship between the use of ICS and Pneumonia, the role of low peak inspiratory flow rate at discharge in patients hospitalized for COPD exacerbation and upon the efficacy of respiratory tele-rehabilitation.

This course brings together leading experts worldwide to discuss the opportunities but also difficulties in studying the lung microbiome. In particular, this course will provide an introduction to the basic concepts of the lung microbiome field and an overview of state-of-the-art developments.

This Congress will provide the participants with the latest clinical updates and recent advancements in the field of Respiratory Medicine, Interventional Bronchoscopy Sleep & Critical Care. It will be held hybrid for the first time and be preceded by a rich content of post graduate courses. Our aim is to help the physicians share their experiences and strengthen their clinical approaches and daily practices.

Focus on Education / Clinical Application of the latest treatment options, implementation and educational learnings for the use of ‘Biologicals in CRSwNP by a practical and precise webinar with interactive Q & A and virtual networking opportunities.

“Treatable traits (ITT)” is a precision medicine approach that facilitates multidimensional assessment of every patient with chronic airway disease, to determine the core traits associated with disease outcomes where targeted treatments may applied. Portraits is an international event where main experts will discuss the state of the art and share useful insights to be applied in clinical practice.

This virtual one-day event dedicated to COVID-19 will provide an overview of latest advances, data and best practices related to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 and discuss currently unmet needs and solutions.

This onsite course will provide an overview of polysomnography, the limitations and strengths of these tests and their interpretation for the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) in children. Participants will learn about the indications for polysomnography and how to optimise the diagnostic approach for children with suspected OSAS so that they can be treated in a timely manner to prevent short and long-term adverse health effects.

The Union World Conference on Lung Health is an annual international event devoted to lung health and related public health issues as they affect low- and middle-income populations. Participants from more than 130 countries usually attend the four-day conference and pre and post conference activities with a programmatic offer of plenary and special sessions, symposia, post-graduate courses, workshops, meet the expert, oral and e-poster sessions based on abstracts etc.
