The conference is Australasia's largest event dedicated to cystic fibrosis (CF) and will bring together around 200 lay people and over 350 medical, allied health and nursing delegates plus CF researchers from across the region and around the world.
Over the four days lay and medical sessions will be held, illuminating the very latest CF research and innovation in treatment and care. As Chair of the 2017 ACFC Associate Professor Sarath Ranganathan, Director of Respiratory Medicine, Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne, has brought together a committee of CF specialists from a variety of backgrounds. They are planning a valuable and vibrant program that celebrates both Australasian and international breakthroughs, innovative treatments and research.
The CEO of Cystic Fibrosis Community Care Karin Knoester will chair the Lay Committee and again the opportunities for education, peer support and consumer engagement will be compelling sessions with highly valuable outcomes.
Join us in Melbourne in August 2017 for what promises to be a highly informative and stimulating event for our CF community, clinicians, allied health practitioners, nurses and researchers.
