A year of change and new goals for our association
This year has marked a turning point for our association. For the first time, we have moved our annual meeting to Vall d’Hebron Hospital in Barcelona. This change inaugurates a new model of rotating meetings among the main CSURs (Centers, Services, and Reference Units) for angioedema in Spain, with the aim of strengthening collaboration with healthcare professionals and facilitating the participation of patients and families from all regions.

Our goal for 2026 is to reach a greater number of patients, ensure broader and more equitable access to modern treatments, and contribute to improving the quality of life of all those affected. We will continue working to ensure that the real needs of the community are heard, recognized, and addressed, promoting policies and strategies that generate a positive and lasting impact.

We are thrilled to announce that we are already preparing our annual meeting, which next year will be held for the first time at the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville on February 21, 2026, continuing the rotating venue model we began this year.

In addition, we are organizing another edition of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, scheduled for March 19-24. This unique experience combines camaraderie, visibility, and personal growth, and has become one of the most highly valued activities among our members.
