On Friday 29/10/2021, the first online meeting of BEAT-PCD with the European Lung Foundation and representatives from PCD support groups from different countries, took place.
During the meeting, Dr Jobst Röhmel had the opportunity to present the aims and progress of the WP3 “Patient Engagement Activities” Work Package while other members of the ERS BEAT-PCD network presented several ongoing research activities involving patients across Europe. More specifically, Dr Laura Behan talked about the development of the PCD patient education survey, Dr Eva Pedersen presented an update on the COVID-PCD study while Dr Myrona Goutaki presented an ongoing study investigating priorities for PCD research from the experts and the patients’ perspective.
