The summit focused on shaping the future of care for chronic respiratory and allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis. Discussions highlighted the growing global burden of these conditions and the need for more coordinated, patient-centred approaches across Europe.

A major theme was improving real-world implementation of evidence-based guidelines, ensuring that advances in research translate more effectively into daily clinical practice. The meeting also emphasized the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration between specialists, general practitioners, and patients to improve long-term outcomes.

Key priorities identified included:

• Strengthening early diagnosis and prevention strategies
• Improving access to personalized and precision medicine approaches
• Enhancing education for healthcare professionals and patients
• Expanding the use of digital health tools and data-driven care models
• Supporting research into disease mechanisms and novel therapies

Overall, the summit reinforced EUFOREA’s role in bridging the gap between research and clinical practice to improve the quality of life for patients living with chronic respiratory and allergic diseases.
