ECFS Policy statement on conference attendance by individuals with Cystic Fibrosis:
The European Cystic Fibrosis Society is a scientific forum, designed for attendance by Scientists and Health Professionals.  In our effort to safeguard individuals with cystic fibrosis from the risk of cross infection, the ECFS strongly discourages people with CF attending the conference.  Individuals with CF wishing to attend the conference, regardless of the ECFS recommendation, will do so entirely at their own risk.
