Résumé : | The HERMES (Harmonising Education in RespiratoryMedicine for European Specialists) project is fundedby the European Respiratory Society (ERS) andhas the declared aims of harmonising educationin thoracic medicine, recognising diplomas andcertificates of qualification, and improving freeaccess and mobility for medical specialists acrossthe European Union (EU). This takes into accountDirective 2013/55/EU of the European Parliamentand of the Council [1] on the recognition ofprofessional qualifications, one of the pillars of EUlegislation. Moreover, it conforms to the fact thatthere is a shortage of medical/surgical specialists inseveral European countries, which means that morephysicians of other Europeanand non-Europeancountries will be needed to sustain the functioningand development of health services in future yearsand decades [2]. HERMES is working towardsthe development of harmonised and structuredprogrammes for education across respiratoryspecialties to ensure that the best care is deliveredfor those suffering from respiratory diseases. |
