As part of the research programme RESPIRE led by the University of Edinburgh, funded by the UK National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), IPCRG is working with our network including colleagues in South Asia to produce the content for a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) that will be published by the University of Edinburgh MOOC team on FutureLearn.
Learning topics will include the recognition, diagnosis and management of chronic respiratory diseases in low and middle income countries.

With EPG Health for Medthority, an expert IPCRG faculty on helping smokers quit has authored an e-learning programme on treating tobacco dependence, including case studies and three assessments of learning. This went live in June 2020; new material is being added.
