Summer is well and truly here, and while I would normally see a rapid reduction in respiratory illnesses, something has changed recently.
Since COVID-19, there has been a shift in the viral-bacterial ecosystem, and we’re now seeing acute LRTIs all year round. Asthma is going haywire with the excess pollen, and COPD never really dies down.
To make matters worse, as people live longer, the cumulative impact of industrial chemicals, tar, and other occupational hazards continues to affect the respiratory health of many patients. Whether it’s interstitial lung disease or cancer, serious lung pathology is being uncovered regularly.
So where am I going with this? Respiratory illnesses are only going to increase. Patients can be chronically or acutely unwell, and regardless of the type of illness, respiratory medicine is a specialty that clinicians from all backgrounds need to have working knowledge of.
This is why we have invited Dr Shayan Khan, a registrar in respiratory medicine, to deliver the CPD Respiratory Masterclass. This will be delivered online on Sunday, 6th July 2025, from 10 am to 1 pm.
It doesn’t end there. We are proud to announce that we have secured an external sponsor for the event, bringing the price of the masterclass down to only £4.99. This will be a live-only event, providing high-quality respiratory teaching along with a CPD certificate for your portfolio.
The topics for discussion will include:
Diagnosis of respiratory disease: spirometry, FeNO, and CT scans
Interpretation of lung function tests (spirometry, peak flow)
Latest BTS/NICE guidance on COPD and asthma management
Interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis
Update on long COVID
Antibiotic prescribing for respiratory infections
So be sure to take advantage of this fantastic CPD opportunity. You can book here
