Minutes of round table discussion
Dear colleagues and friends,
A last post-presidential action:
to keep our colleagues who did not attend the 4th congress in Madrid posted to confirm our agreements.
It was so good to meet each other in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. We had a well-organized meeting in the La Paz Hospital and we thank again Guillermo Ocampo (and his staff) and Dr. Jose Abelairas (and the hospital).
At the end of the meeting we talked a short time about our future and guess what:
We will have our 5th Congress in Sweden in 2007, organized by colleague Martin Johnson in Malma, and we will have our 6th Congress in France in 2009, organized by colleague Christine Fernandez in Toulouse. Thank you very much, Martin. Merci beaucoup, Christine.
While brainstorming we talked about what we want for our future meetings:
English spoken, Many ocularists speaking, only doctors who work together with us speaking, Workshops, And: back to basics (like Robin Brammar said).
I have asked him to put his ideas on paper and he said: o.k. Thank you Robin! Sorry for making you work for us again, Robin, but may I memorize your presentation: that slide showing options for treatment, starting with: ß??do nothingß?? that is so inspiring in his simplicity. I had to ask you!
By the way: thank to colleagues Francesco Pelaez and David Carpenter and all the others for their presentations.
Last remark:
I would like to ask everyone to take care of keeping our AEO-file up-to-date by MAILING any new addresses, phone numbers, e-mails or any other important features TO US ALL.
Well; it has been a privilege for me to be your president for the last two years and I thank you all for the support.
From now, hello to Martin Johnson as our vice-president for the coming two years.
P.S: ESOPRS meetings: 2006 : London, 2007 Ljublana, Slovenia (beware Martin, please)
Warmest regards,
Erica J. Groet
