Clinicians in Africa and Europe need to be aware of the pulmonary manifestations of sickle cell disease and on the lung function trajectories in this population of children. Sickle cell disease remains a prevalent condition in parts of Africa. With migrations of populations across the world, paediatricians and paediatric pulmonologists need to be aware of the clinical presentation, spectrum of disease and current literature on lung function trajectories of this condition in paediatric populations in high income and low resource settings.
The webinar will address the spectrum of lung diseases, clinical presentation and data on lung function trajectories and management of children with sickle cell disease.
This webinar will include 20-25 minutes per speaker and followed by 15 minutes for a Q& A session.
Improve knowledge on sickle cell disease, treatment strategies and lung function trajectory.
An application for accreditation of this webinar has been made to the European Board for Accreditation in Pneumology (EBAP) for 1 CME credit per 1-hour attendance. If accredited, the CME credit will be granted upon attendance of at least 60 minutes during the live webinar only.
A webinar closely simulates a lecture-based teaching experience. The speaker can interact with the audience, just as in a classroom setting. During the webinar, you will be asked to share your opinion on issues related to the topic using interactive polls.
All participants will be able to hear the lecturer and see the slides throughout the presentation. As a participant you will be able to pose questions or discuss ideas with the other participants via the text chat facility and the speaker will respond to the questions via the microphone.
More information will be communicated in due course.
