Join us for a 90-minute webinar exploring the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Clinical Practice Guidelines on the Management of Adult Bronchiectasis.
This interactive session will bring together healthcare professionals and patient representatives to explain the new guidelines in clear, accessible language and share practical insights for daily care and management. Participants will learn what is new in bronchiectasis care, how the guidelines were developed and how people with bronchiectasis and their caregivers can use them to support communication with their healthcare teams.
