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. |
