The aim of the Respiratory MCN Education Hub is to support Continued Professional Development (CPD) for staff, who have an interest in Respiratory Medicine, working in Primary and Secondary Care.
To ensure a well-rounded learning experience and to cater for staff with busy schedules and geographical constraints. The Respiratory MCN will utilise the Education Hub to host monthly lunch time education sessions (the 2nd Monday of the month 12:30-13:30) and as a news channel.
All sessions will be recorded and are available in the Respiratory MCN Education Hub Teams Channel.
