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.

Annual meeting of the Societat Catalana de Pneumologia (Catalan pneumology society). This meeting is a two-day event with clinical sessions and rounds with 10 multidisciplinary tables on respiratory core topics. The sessions are moderated by 2-3 chairmen and include two or more speakers.

Attendees will learn the basis of the peer-review process in a specialised respiratory journal, specifically, how manuscript submissions are being processed, assessed, and eventually accepted.

Theoretical-practical course on technology and monitoring in non-invasive ventilation. It is a face-to-face course to improve knowledge in non-invasive ventilation, with the support of an active simulator model in which the concepts that are progressively introduced in the theoretical sessions can be reproduced.

To promote the updating of knowledge about lung cancer, in the light of scientific evidence and the most recent recommendations. The most current, most controversial topics will be discussed, with particular attention to therapeutic and technological innovation, through thematic presentations and case discussions in an interactive way.

The Sleep and Breathing conference is the largest pan-European meeting of its kind and is the only one to offer an integrated approach to the investigation and treatment of sleep disorders. Organised by the ERS and ESRS, the Sleep and Breathing Conference 2023 gives an opportunity to update knowledge and skills and network with other respiratory professionals specialising in the sleep respiratory medicine and science.

The objectives are to bring together the key players in the field of primary prevention of asthma, review the state of the art including basic mechanisms, animal studies, epidemiological studies and ongoing and proposed intervention studies, highlight the areas of uncertainty in the above areas, by peer-led critical discussion, educate and inspire Early Career Members (ECMs) about primary prevention, write and publish a position statement on prevention of asthma.

This course will provide an overview of the field of Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs). Participants will learn which diagnostic procedures should be applied based on given clinical circumstances and will receive updates on specific diseases and treatment. Course attendees will have the opportunity to present their cases and discuss them with leading experts.

A workshop to review the content of newly authored Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) for use in future examinations. The workshop will include guidance on correct format of MCQs, group discussion on the content.

The key objective of this set of modules is to provide participants with different opinions regarding key issues in the field of respiratory medicine. Discussions between recognised experts will be recorded and made available in video format for the participants. Each module will be based on a specific topic or a case presentation.

Promote real-life research in respiratory diseases and the improvement of patient care through the influence of guidelines with real-world evidence.

This course is aimed at pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons who want to train in diagnostic and therapeutic interventional pulmonology. Two-thirds of the course are devoted to “hands-on” workshops and one-third to the theoretical aspects of bronchoscopy or thoracoscopy.

This course is aimed at paediatricians and pulmonologists who want to develop their skills in diagnostic and therapeutic paediatric bronchoscopy. The course is devoted to hands-on workshops and to teaching the theoretical aspects of bronchoscopy. The participants will have the opportunity to practice live bronchoscopy on anaesthetised animals in an operating room.

A workshop to review the content of newly authored Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) for use in future examinations. The workshop will include guidance on correct format of MCQs, group discussion on the content.

Providing up-to-date information on the daily practice of pulmonologists, respiratory scientists and allied health professionals, to improve their knowledgebase, and, ultimately, the overall quality of patient care. The information disseminated during the webinar should introduce the basic concepts and established techniques rather than scientific work in progress.
