Educational aims

Respiratory tract infections are one of the most relevant clinical and public health issues worldwide, and their management is often complicated by a range of issues, including inappropriate administration of antibiotics, increased transmission in hospital and community settings, and the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance. This ERS course aims to address these challenges in plenary sessions, interactive workshops, case presentations and discussions.
