RESUMO
The Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR) has held its 56th congress in Granada from 8 to 10 June 2023. The SEPAR congress has established itself as the leading scientific meeting for specialists in medicine and respiratory care, reaching a record of participation this year with 2600 attendees. Our society thus demonstrates its leadership in the management of respiratory diseases, as well as its growth and progress in order to achieve excellence. In this review, we offer a summary of some notable issues addressed in six selected areas of interest: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), tuberculosis and respiratory infections, pulmonary circulation, and respiratory nursing.
