The Hong Kong Thoracic Society and American College of Chest Physicians (Hong Kong and Macau Chapter) have timely arranged a special symposium to refresh and update colleagues about knowledge in this area. The symposium was held on 6 March 2007 at Conrad Hotel. Our audience was very privileged to have two distinguished speakers delivering informative and enlightening talks in that evening. The first talk on \u201cPathogenesis and treatment of asthma exacerbations\u201d was given by Prof Sebastian Johnston from UK. It was immediately followed by our local expert, Dr Christopher Lai, with a talk on \u201cAn update on the GINA guideline and management of chronic asthma\u201d. The symposium ended with a \u201cQ &amp; A\u201d section between the two experts and the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"753\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.hkts.hku.yakoo.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/20171122164914_26981.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.hkts.hku.yakoo.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/20171122164914_26981.jpg 753w, https:\/\/dev.hkts.hku.yakoo.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/20171122164914_26981-300x292.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2748,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"professional-education-category":[92],"class_list":["post-2929","professional-edu","type-professional-edu","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","professional-education-category-webinars-and-workshop"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.hkts.hku.yakoo.com.hk\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/professional-edu\/2929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.hkts.hku.yakoo.com.hk\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/professional-edu"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.hkts.hku.yakoo.com.hk\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/professional-edu"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.hkts.hku.yakoo.com.hk\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.hkts.hku.yakoo.com.hk\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"professional-education-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.hkts.hku.yakoo.com.hk\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/professional-education-category?post=2929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
