Message from ELF Chair, Monica Fletcher:
“After the excitement of the annual ERS Congress, the ELF office is returning to business as usual with our on-going projects.
“The EU project, U-BIOPRED, is moving forward and has recently launched a Twitter feed to keep you updated on its latest developments. You can follow the project on Twitter (@UBIOPRED) and don’t forget to use #ubiopred in any of your tweets about the project.
“Following the launch of the European Patient Ambassador Programme pilot at Congress, we are collecting all the feedback we received to make improvements to the programme. We are still on track for the launch in 2013 and we will keep you updated on progress.
To find out more about the programme, visit the ELF website.
“The minutes of the third Patient Advisory Committee meeting, held in Vienna at the ERS Congress, are now available. To find out more about the outcomes and the activities planned for next year, visit the website to view the minutes.
“On a final note, if you are working on any big campaigns or lung health initiatives for 2013, then we’d like to hear from you! Tell us what you are planning and who you are hoping to reach with the campaign and we’ll do what we can to showcase these activities to patients across Europe.”
