The ERN-LUNG Academy is a curriculum for medical staff at any stage of their career, who wishes to get a proof of knowledge on rare respiratory diseases. It consists of Webinars and eCases, but also includes on-site training in ERN-LUNG Centers. We call for applications from participants of EU-member States from September to November each year. Classes start in January. If you wish to apply for next yearโ€™s class, please send a letter of motivation to info@ern-lung.eu

ERN-LUNG Online advance system

The EXpert Advisory BOard (EXABO) is a pan-European internet platform, which has been developed in the context of ERN-LUNG in liaison with the Medical Informatics Group of University Hospital Frankfurt, to answer questions on all aspects of rare respiratory diseases. The platform is primarily aimed at patients and care team members but is openly accessible by anyone who wants to ask a related question.

“ERN-LUNG goes East” – Update

ERN-LUNG Goes East

November was also a busy month for the Go East project. The systematic research for potential health care provider candidates from Eastern-European continued and one on one online meetings were held with those who were already identified or referred.

Thanks to the efforts of Prof. Francesco Bonella, we managed to organize a zoom webinar and introduce ERN-Lung and more specifically the sarcoidosis core network to main centres from Poland to Serbia and from Hungary to Romania. Based on positive responses, our expectations are high: we hope that in the coming months many applications will be received.

Raising the awareness and profile of ERN-Lung

The members of the network coordination team were invited to meetings to provide insight to the concept and advantages of ERN-Lung. There was an online, tailor-made course for Belgian patient experts with various topics organized by the Patient Expert Center and the 4-day long Annual Pulmonary Hypertension European Conference organized by European Pulmonary Hypertension Association where a complete hour was dedicated to the topic to name a few.
