In June 2014 EBAP and the ERS officially launched the accreditation of training centres in adult respiratory medicine. This voluntary accreditation process is open to all Adult European Training Centres composed of either a single participating training centre or alternatively of a number of training sites.

Hermes Initiative

The training centre accreditation is a development phase of the Adult HERMES (Harmonised Education in Respiratory Medicine for European Specialists) initiated by the ERS (European Respiratory Society) in 2005. This phase recommends criteria to become a European accredited training centre and part of the training network. Criteria outlined within the Criteria for accreditation of European training centre in adult respiratory medicine document may be met by a number of participating training centres forming a training centre network.
