British Thoracic Society Training Standards for Pleural Procedures
The British Thoracic Society responded to a call from the pleural community to establish a new Training Standard for pleural procedures, relevant to all health care professionals. This should be seen as an enhancement to aspects of existing curricula and be supportive in giving clarity to learners and trainers about expectations for training and practice in pleural procedures.
