Our next respiratory talk will be given by Heidi Steen, a final year medical student at Queen's University Belfast, during which she will cover respiratory conditions that commonly arise in the UKMLA including asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer. The case-led session should provide students with an opportunity to test and expand on their knowledge.

This is an invaluable opportunity to interact, share experiences and learn from peers in the medical field. Don't miss out on this chance to enhance your skills and knowledge.
Learning objectives
-
Understand and differentiate between obstructive and restrictive lung diseases: By the end of the session, participants should be able to accurately describe the pathophysiology, clinical presentations, diagnostic methods, and treatment options for both obstructive and restrictive lung diseases.
-
Identify risk factors, signs and symptoms of common respiratory malignancies: Participants should be able to recognize potential risk factors, and evaluate clinical presentations related to common respiratory malignancies like lung cancer, as well as outline the diagnostic process.
-
Interpret clinical data related to respiratory conditions: Participants should be able to accurately interpret and apply clinical data, such as patient history, physical examination findings, and results from diagnostic investigations, to formulate a differential diagnosis for patients with suspected obstructive, restrictive or malignant lung conditions.
-
Develop treatment plans for patients with respiratory diseases: The participants should be competent in formulating effective treatment plans for patients with restrictive and obstructive lung diseases or malignancies tailored to the individual patient's needs and based on current guidelines and evidence-based practices.
-
Demonstrate effective peer-to-peer communication skills: As part of the Peer2Peer aspect of the session, participants should also aim to improve their ability to communicate complex medical information effectively with other healthcare professionals, fostering a collaborative approach to
