Patients Meeting at the 8th AAA, Lisbon 2018
The Science and Medical Communications Team at the National Aspergillosis Centre (NAC) in Manchester, UK run a large support program for patients and carers including monthly meetings at NAC, Skype meetings, Facebook groups as well as supporting NHS Choices on fungal disease.
As part of that program we ran a very successful support meeting for patients and carers at the 7th AAA in Manchester and we want to do the same at the 8th AAA in Lisbon starting at 1pm (1pm GMT) on Thursday 1st February.
