| Course description | 'Process of Care - Respiratory' is one of the systems-based courses covering all of the systems of the body. These integrated courses will bring together basic scientists and practicing clinicians to teach about the presentation, diagnosis and management of the diseases affecting the different body system. Knowledge-based clinico-pathological conferences will ensure that core respiratory topics are addressed. There will be integration with disciplines closely linked to respiratory medicine - radiology, paediatric chest medicine, thoracic surgery, microbiology, practical pharmacology and intensive care. Most of the teaching will take place within teaching hospitals although there will be some element from general practice. |
