ESCMID supports the creation and distribution of carefully crafted, evidence-based guidance documents aimed to strengthen best practices in the diagnosis and treatment of Infectious Diseases (ID).
ESCMID has a forward-thinking vision to provide strong support to professionals practising within the fields of Clinical Microbiology (CM), Infection Control (IC), and ID. With the help of the ESCMID Guideline Subcommittee and the ESCMID Evidence Review Group, ESCMID selects cutting-edge topics, employs an independent and robust methodology, and embraces a global perspective. In pursuit of excellence, the Guidelines Subcommittee is proud to follow procedures for evidence appraisal and data extraction orchestrated by a dedicated group of well-trained Young Science Members (YSM). Panel members are handpicked to monitor any potential conflicts of interest.
The ESCMID Guidelines Subcommittee worked on revising and updating the “ESCMID manual for clinical practice guidelines and other guidance documents”. We invite all ESCMID members to review the new version of the manual and provide comments. If you are interested please write at guidancedocuments(at)escmid.org providing your ESCMID membership number and you will get the confidential draft document to comment on. Deadline to provide feedback is 6 January 2025.
