Minutes of round table discussion
Dear friends and colleagues,
Remember our third meeting, the 27th September 2003 in Amsterdam?
I do hope it was as good for you as it was for me! So nice to see you all and work with you again. During our round table discussion a few decisions were made.
- In September 2005 we will have a fourth meeting in Madrid in Spain. Many thanks to the very kind offer to organize it by our colleagues Guillermo Ocampo Leon, Francisco Pelaez and Gloria Jimenez Gil, our new vice-presidents! Final dates and venue are to be confirmed. It will be again a great opportunity to meet colleagues and surgeons from another European country and learn about their way of working (together).
- Our colleague (and ophthalmologist) Yoav Vardizer from Israel will work together with the organization to create (more) space for discussion. Thanks, Yoav!
- We will keep each other posted if addresses, telephone numbers or e-mail addresses change.
Many kind regards to you all from the Netherlands, love Erica.
