Abstract

Child-BEAR-Net will create vital infrastructure to progress education, advocacy and research collaboration in paediatric bronchiectasis (see www.improveBE.org). With the ELF and parent advisory group, our initial planned projects respond to identified needs and complement the ERS paediatric bronchiectasis CPG [5]. Our CRC will advance bronchiectasis by raising awareness and encouraging an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and management. In doing so, this will improve the lives of the many children at risk of, or affected by, bronchiectasis.
