Primary care is at the cornerstone of any health system – and primary care practitioners play a key role in the delivery of respiratory care. Respiratory symptoms are the most common reason for primary care consultations, and most respiratory diagnoses and the management of people with respiratory conditions (especially asthma, COPD, and acute infections) is predominantly the responsibility of primary care.
As in previous years, we have a dedicated primary care day at this year’s Congress, with sessions designed to address the latest issues and developments in this area – allowing the primary care community to focus on and discuss the challenges they face and the solutions moving forward.
Professor Hilary Pinnock, Chair of the ERS General Practice and Primary Care group, has shared her highlights for primary care specialists at this year’s ERS Congress – visit the official Congress website to find out more.
