On 30 May 2015 EFCCA organized the Symposium on Patient Safety, which took place in Brussels and gathered for the first time representatives from the medical and patient community
as well as representatives from the pharmaceutical industries and other stakeholders in order to discuss the issue of biological medicines and biosimilars.
The highly anticipated translations of the ECCO-EFCCA Patient Guidelines have been completed and will be officially launched in February 2017 at the 12th Congress of ECCO in Barcelona. The ECCO Guidelines on UC and CD are considered the reference for practice by a majority of the specialist IBD units in Europe. The translations of these guidelines from medical to lay language offers patients and physicians a common background of knowledge that may facilitate dialogue, understanding and common involvement in decision making.
