Newsletter Editorial for EFSUMB

Well the summer has almost gone and most departments are now getting back to full staffing. Those involved in the running of EFSUMB have however not been idle during the summer. The preparations for Euroson 2007 in Leipzig are being finalised and by the time you read this the congress will be with us. The programme is a very comprehensive one with many "old favourites" but other sessions addressing the forefront of ultrasound development.

I am pleased to tell you that after much research and debate the web site is about to be completely revised. It will have an updated look and will be easier to manage on a day to day basis. Gianna does this amongst her many tasks and it is important that we make this as easy for her as possible.

In this newsletter you will see a report on the Euroson School in Romania. We had a report in the last issue from the Centre in Romania on their development and it is good to hear how popular and successful the work in the centre is on an ongoing basis.

The next issue will bring early reports of the important changes in the Executive Bureau and other committees to be decided on in Leipzig. I hope to see many of you there.
