Dear Colleagues,

after meeting in Parma (2011), Zagreb (2013) and Porto (2015), with great pleasure, on behalf of the conference organizers, you are invited to the 4th EFLM-BD European Conference on Preanalytical Phase, to be held on 24-25 March 2017 in Amsterdam (NL).

The conference is organized by the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) and sponsored by BD Diagnostics, Preanalytical Systems. The focus of the conference is the quality of the preanalytical phase of the laboratory work. It is the largest such conference in Europe.

The conference program has been tailored by the scientific committee to deliver up-to-date knowledge in the field and create an open forum for interactive discussions. Your feedback during the previous meetings has guided us in the selection of the topics of this one.

Our guiding principle was to be different, pragmatic, practical and interactive, to address challenges, to raise questions and offer answers.
