Guidelines, statements and technical standards development programme

About

The European Respiratory Society (ERS) contributes to the coordination of European activities in respiratory medicine and provides funding to Task Forces producing clinical practice guidelines (CPG), statements and technical standards. Once published, these documents – which are adopted as ERS official papers – provide clarity and direction on a particular topic within respiratory medicine. The overall aim is to improve clinical practice.

The funding options are:

• ERS Task Force to produce guidelines, statements and technical standards.
• ERS Task Force to produce short guidelines or short statements.
• A joint Task Force to produce guidelines, statements or technical standards with another society.

Upon request, the ERS may also endorse documents developed by other international scientific societies.
