Dr Pankaj Pant on HExN Fellowship in ILD

HExN International Fellowship was a great learning opportunity for me, when I was an observer in Respiratory Medicine at Lancashire Teaching Hospital in the subspecialty of Interstitial Lung disease (ILD). During my training, I got broader vision about ILD care, a multidisciplinary approach in management of ILD, which include Respiratory Physician, Chest Radiologist, Pathologist and ILD nurse. I also got opportunity to discuss CT reading about various patterns of ILD. OPDs visit was equally fruitful learning experiences. With my eye opening experience about ILD diagnosis and management, I hope to start ILD clinic in my hospital back in Nepal. I would like to thank, my mentor Dr. Yussef Haider, who is leading ILD services at Lancashire for accepting me and guiding me.

My heartfelt thanks goes to Prof.Satyan M Rajbhandari, one of the founder of HExN, without whom this training would not have been possible. Finally I would like thank Health Exchange Nepal for providing me a greater learning experience and support during my stay in UK.
