British Thoracic Society<\/a><\/h2>\n

Membership of the BTS is similarly a “must” and their website is comprehensive, including links to numerous guidelines.<\/p>\n

Meetings are typically held twice a year, the Summer meeting sited outwith London (and often particularly educationally slanted and thus particularly good for those in training) and the Winter meeting, held in London.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Scottish Interstitial Lung Diseases Group<\/h2>\n

This is an informal group, without as yet a website (but watch this space!) which meet at least once a year, and discuss all things interstitial..It is co-chaired by Dr Owen Dempsey (Aberdeen) and Dr George Chalmers (Glasgow). We have a list of members and if you are keen to be included on the mailing list then please e-mail Dr Dempsey’s secretary<\/a>. Meetings are usually very well attended (>50) typically, most recently held near Perth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
