The committee held a short meeting during the last Euroson congress in Edinburgh in
December. A meeting was held in April in Copenhagen (although the Icelandic volcano
eruption did its best to prevent this) and the committee will meet again in August
during Euroson 2010.
The EFSUMB Newsletter continues to bring interviews with delegates or presidents of the national societies,
papers on current topics and new technology and information from all committees of
EFSUMB. In addition we welcome to advertise for all Euroson congresses and Euroson
schools. The first issue each year is an extended issue (being sent to all members
of EFSUMB) containing reports from the executive bureau and committees. The newsletter
also brings report from EUROSON congresses and reports of young investigators awards.
The upgrade in pages available for the newsletter has been very welcomed.
The EFSUMB web page www.efsumb.org continues to receive a large number of hits, 71,000 for the last 3 months period.
The top countries assessing the website are UK, Germany, Italy and China in that order.
Dr. Torben Lorentzen (Denmark) is now in charge of updating the front page.
The Case of the Month has been maintained by Christoph Dietrich for a long time, and this has now been
passed on to Paul Sidhu (UK). The case of the month also receives a large number of
hits and under consideration is translation of the text into other European languages.
The EFSUMB Course Book is described in detail in the report from the Honorary Secretary.
The Educational Portal is to be launched soon at www.efsumb.org.
A Scientific Corner is also under development and will hopefully appear soon on the website. It will
be a place where you can post your ideas and get response from colleagues all over
the world and present strange or typical cases.
