Summary : Second general meeting: a landmark for EDF
Just over 75 members, some accompanied by spouses, convened for a two-day meeting at the Grand Hotel Victoria-Jungfrau in Interlaken, Switzerland from 21-24 Jan. 1999. Although it was the "Second" General Meeting of the EDF, it was second-to-none in importance: the EDF is now an official, international organisation, established according to the by-laws of the Swiss civil code. The EDF members present at the meeting re-dedicated themselves to the objectives of the Forum and worked intensely to formulate and begin the implementation of a series of practical steps forward for European Dermatology.
In his opening address, Prof. Lasse Braathen underscored EDF's progress and how important this would be for the future of dermatology and the corresponding enhancement of patient care. He reiterated the view that the voice of patients should always remain the EDF's guidepost and invited attendees to exchange views freely during the two-day meeting and to interact with company sponsors and guest speakers to sharpen perspectives of the EDF's agenda. Prof. Braathen also stressed the importance of acting as a group to achieve the most impactful results. |
