Eight years ago, the ERS School started a very ambitious project to harmonise
education in respiratory medicine for European specialists (HERMES). A
preliminary survey among 29 European countries showed considerable
variation in postgraduate training. Based on these findings, the ERS School
developed a range of consensus documents: a core syllabus describing the
competencies required, a curriculum of recommendations indicating how
competencies should be taught and learned, an accreditation methodology
for training centres, and a voluntary European examination to assess whether
specialists have acquired the knowledge-based component of competence. The
Handbook, together with a vast array of educational material, such as lectures,
articles published in Breatheand the European Respiratory Monograph, and other
lectures and courses, all available on the ERS School website, together comprise
an unrivalled educational resource for anyone preparing for the European
Examination in Adult Respiratory Medicine.
The first edition of the ERS Handbook of Respiratory Medicinewas published
in 2010 with the aim of providing state-of-the-art summaries in all areas of
respiratory medicine. This second edition of the Handbookhas been extensively
peer review and revisited, and includes new sections on
• cytology of the lung
• HRCT of the chest
• long-term ventilation
• opportunistic infections in the immunocompromised host
• the pharmacology of asthma and COPD
• HRCT in the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease
• pathology and molecular biology of lung cancer
• palliative care
The Handbookis a comprehensive, easily accessible source of the essentials
of respiratory medicine for senior medical staff requiring revalidation, and
nursing and allied healthcare professionals at all levels who wish to keep
their knowledge up to date. All readers can be assured that as they set sail to
manage patients across the spectrum of respiratory disorders, they are armed
with the best information, access to multiple-choice questions to check their
knowledge, and a source guide for more in-depth study.
