This is a multidisciplinary group composed of family doctors, nurses, pneumologists and paediatricians, almost all of them working in clinical care. For eleven years the group has been organising biannual symposium on COPD and asthma in primary health care, and for the last seven years it has organised a smoking symposium jointly with the Catalan Society of Family and Community Medicine (CAMFiC).
