To provide an integrated, multidisciplinary update on the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases, with a focus on inflammation, multisystem interactions and multidisciplinary management.

Respiratory medicine in India faces significant gaps in standardised, evidence-based clinical education. Healthcare professionals lack access to structured, comprehensive respiratory education aligned with international guidelines and current practice standards.

The course Nutritional support in pulmonary diseases is a part of the ESPEN educational project aiming to improve the knowledge about Clinical Nutrition and enhancing the quality of the nutritional support given to the patients. It is organized in 4 modules/lectures each addressing different aspects of the topic, the consequent discussion of 2 clinical cases, and the completion of the MCQ test.

The LEAD-BE programme is designed to reflect and respond to the changes that the bronchiectasis management suffered over the past 12-24 months. By combining short, high-yield teaching with immersive simulation using professional actors, the course equips a new generation of bronchiectasis specialists with the clinical reasoning, communication skills and organisational vision required to deliver modern, patient-centred care and to act as drivers of change within their local healthcare systems.

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. The exam is taken online and invigilated by a third party.
