Exclusive pleural disease podcast

ERS has recorded a special edition podcast to coincide with the forthcoming ERS Monograph on Pleural Disease. Editorial Board member Dr Sheila Ramjug asks how Guest Editors Professor Christian Laursen and Professor Najib Rahman began working in the field, and what the recent significant changes in both pleural disease and thoracic ultrasound have been. They also discuss the rationale behind the Monograph, the key chapters in the book and the upcoming ERS Courses in the area. Listen to the podcast here and visit ersbookshop.com to pre-order your copy of Pleural Disease.
