Learning outcomes
Identify key features and exposures within the clinical presentations of airway, parenchymal and pleural disease that suggest an occupational or environmental cause.
Use current national guidelines to integrate occupational and environmental causation into clinical decision-making.
Understand the unequal impact of many occupational and environmental lung diseases across different social groups.
Curriculum mapping
As this symposium covers a variety of disorders, the common feature being identification and attribution of an occupational or environmental cause, it maps to a number of clinical and specialty capabilities:
Clinical CiPs:
CiP2: Managing the acute care of patients within a medical specialty service.
CiP4: Managing patients in an outpatient clinic, ambulatory or community setting.
Specialty CIPs:
CiP1: Managing all aspects of thoracic malignancy and terminal disease including diagnostic pathways and working with the MDT.
CiP2: Managing integrated respiratory medicine across the primary and secondary care interface including management of long-term disease.
CiP5: Tertiary subspecialties interface: managing patients across the secondary and tertiary interface
