“…This may facilitate an individualised and critical use of positive airway pressure and emerging new therapies. These considerations indicate that adequate training and expertise are required of clinicians treating patients with OSA, and support the implementation of speciality training and certification in sleep medicine for sleep practitioners, as advocated by both the ERS and ESRS[210,211].Conflict of interest: W.

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a major challenge for physicians and healthcare systems throughout the world. The high prevalence and the impact on daily life of OSA oblige clinicians to offer effective and acceptable treatment options. However, recent evidence has raised questions about the benefits of positive airway pressure therapy in ameliorating comorbidities.An international expert group considered the current state of knowledge based on the most relevant publications in the previous 5 years, discussed the current challenges in the field, and proposed topics for future research on epidemiology, phenotyping, underlying mechanisms, prognostic implications and optimal treatment of patients with OSA.The group concluded that a revision to the diagnostic criteria for OSA is required to include factors that reflect different clinical and pathophysiological phenotypes and relevant comorbidities ( nondipping nocturnal blood pressure). Furthermore, current severity thresholds require revision to reflect factors such as the disparity in the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) between polysomnography and sleep studies that do not include sleep stage measurements, in addition to the poor correlation between AHI and daytime symptoms such as sleepiness. Management decisions should be linked to the underlying phenotype and consider outcomes beyond AHI.

“…For the first time within ERS education the curriculum modules are designed for all medical practitioners and allied health professionals working with respiratory sleep patients [ 3 ]. While this may pose a challenge across different countries depending on the legal requirements and allocation of tasks, the intention of this international framework for training is to improve practice and raise standards of care [ 1 ]. The second crucial development is the consideration and organisation of topics within ERS education ( figure 3 ).…”

“…With the focus on high-quality patient care and safeguarding practice, lifelong learning and continuing professional development are crucial. For the first time a training framework has been assembled and published which emphasises both the essential elements required for the delivery of high-quality care to respiratory sleep patients (accounting for knowledge, skills and attitudes) [ 1 ] and how these may be attained in the setting of the ERS respiratory sleep medicine continuing professional development programme. To register for the programme, visit the Sleep and Breathing 2017 website ( www.sleepandbreathing.org ).…”

What is the greatest challenge in the delivery of quality care to respiratory disease patients? Is it lack of resources, avoidable harm to patients, or more complex disease presentation? Healthcare delivery has been in the media spotlight in recent months across many countries and the question of how to deliver safe, effective and efficient care to patients remains at the forefront of political agendas at a national level. Education is the passport to the future and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) is in the unique position of being able to work with the most respected respiratory experts internationally in order to design and deliver educational activities to raise standards of training for our respiratory health practitioners.

Some form of medical training accreditation is used in over 110 countries worldwide [1]. Although accreditation criteria and processes vary considerably depending on regional medical training structures and national regulations, various studies suggest that the accreditation of training programmes has a positive impact on trainees’ performance in assessments [2, 3]. Thus, accreditation is an important tool for promoting high-quality training and medical care.
