Obviously my pleas for items for the newsletter seem to have started to bear fruit.
Following two excellent articles in the last Newsletter we have another two items
of interest for this one. Ioan Sporea who many of you will know is the director of
the WFUMB Centre of Excellence in Romania has written an article about his centre
and the Euroson Schools in Romania which continue to be very successful and have given
much needed training to many doctors in that Country. Jouko Pirrhonen has written
an account of the Norwegian Society Annual Meeting . They seem to have made what
for them is a historic decision. Certainly for those of us lucky enough to be able
to travel to meetings of other societies it is always very interesting to hear both
how similar the problems are in different countries but sometimes how a major issue
in one country is of less importance than another and vice versa.
As well as the planning for Euroson 2007 in Leipzig which is well advanced thoughts
are already being given to changes in the various committees of the European Federation.
The cycle of events has changed from a three yearly one to a two yearly one so that
there will be widespread changes in the Executive Bureau, the Board of Directors and
the various committees. EFSUMB can only flourish with volunteers from member societies
in all parts of Europe. I hope that as last time there are many nominations for the
various committees to ensure the continuing development of the influence of EFSUMB
on matters relating to ultrasound across Europe.
Well the holiday season is upon us and will be well advanced when you read this. I
hope you all have a pleasant time whatever you are doing.
