Patient Organisation Networking Day is an annual event that brings together organisations in the ELF Patient Organisation Network to learn about and discuss important topics in respiratory health.

ELF does not charge for its events. It wants to make sure they are available to anybody who wishes to join. To ensure we can keep doing this we ask that those who can afford to pay to consider making a donation. We are grateful to everyone who supports us in this way and helps lung health patients to have their voices heard.
