ECFS

The ECFS is dedicated to developing consensus reports on all aspects of cystic fibrosis from a European point of view. An area or topic is chosen and preliminary documents are prepared by leading workers in the particular topic. An annual meeting is then convened of about 30 participants who have a strong interest in the the topic under discussion and a consensus statement is developed at that meeting. A consensus report is then prepared and submitted for publication. Published consensus reports are listed below
