Chair Clinical Practice Committee
Consensus statement
The ESPE Clinical Practice Committee (CPC) supports the development of consensus statements and guidelines. The CPC also meets with counterparts from the other international Paediatric Endocrine Societies to plan joint developments. In addition, the CPC also reviews guidelines produced by other societies for inclusion on the ESPE website.
The aim of ESPE as a professional society is the welfare of young people under the care of endocrine specialists and who may need hormone interventions. ESPE recognises the rights of all young people to be involved in decisions around their medical care. Young people with variations in gender identification should be recognised as retaining the same level of competence to self-determination as all other young people. Their right to physical integrity and to self-determination should not be reduced, preventing their access to necessary endocrine support and treatments.
