ESCMID opens a Public Consultation Phase (PCP) among ESCMID members prior to endorsing any guidance document. This procedure has the dual aim of ensuring that ESCMID scientific standards are adequately met, and that the ESCMID position as a whole is represented.
Please note there are no documents undergoing public consultation at the moment.
