Calling members of the ELF Patient Organisation Network: registration for this year’s virtual networking day is now open!

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not able to meet face-to-face in Vienna during ERS Congress as planned, but we hope you will join and meet virtually together with us instead.

This year’s event will take place online on Saturday 5 September 2020 (10:30-15:30 CEST) for members of the ELF Patient Organisation Network and invited healthcare professionals. The day is free and you can register as many individuals from your organisation as you like. Please note that the event will be held in English.

The theme for the day will be ‘Psychosocial wellbeing’ and we are planning talks and presentations from healthcare professionals and patient organisations to highlight exciting projects, issues and research on this topic. Some of the talks will relate to the COVID-19 pandemic.

You will have the chance to:

  • ask questions to the speakers,
  • discuss issues in small breakout groups,
  • share posters online, and
  • take part in some fun activities!

The day will consist of a 2-hour session in the morning and a 2-hour session in the afternoon and we will include breaks throughout the day so that you can have lunch, move around or make a cup of tea. A detailed programme with details of speakers will be made available very soon.
