There is an increased need for General Practitioners to stay updated about the latest research, treatment options, and regulatory changes related to inhalation-induced lung diseases caused by asbestos, silica, and vaping/e-cigarettes to effectively address the significant respiratory health risks these substances pose to various population groups.
Please join us for the Respiratory medical update with focus on silica and asbestos: assessment, management and prevention, as well as occupational hazards and common workplace hazards. We will also cover approaches to screening for historical exposure to asbestos and silica, the various illnesses caused by these exposures, and how to investigate and manage suspicious symptoms. Part of Hazelhurst CPD series.
Presented by:
Associate Professor Janet Rimmer, Respiratory Physician and Allergist
