This session will cover the hot topics of the year in respiratory care – covering highlights from the journals, from the British Thoracic Society Winter and Summer Meetings, as well as the Primary Care Respiratory Society, International Primary Care Respiratory Society and European Respiratory society meeting. It will cover how the new evidence (only that relevant to UK primary care) fits in with current updated guidance – and allow delegates to feel comfortable with cutting edge respiratory care. There will be some cases and time at the end, for questions and answers.
Review of each topic will comprise
