Dear Colleagues,
There is now increasing excitement within the WFSA Board and Council as we move towards the next World Congress of Anaesthesiology (WCA) in Hong Kong August 28 to September 2, 2016.
We all hope that our excitement is mirrored by similar enthusiasm amongst the membership of your Society. Hong Kong will provide a superb scientific programme on 17 parallel tracks, an excellent social programme, plus the opportunity to sample the cultural diversity of the area.
The Hong Kong Society have been working tirelessly over the past years to ensure that all will have a memorable experience when they attend this meeting, and I am looking forward to seeing you there to catch up with what has been going on in your Society.
I hope that you will have seen some advertising about the Congress within your country and that much of this has been transmitted to your membership through communications, newsletters and journals. However it would be great if you could also share this link about the Congress with your membership and networks.
Registration for the WCA is open now at: www.wca2016.org so please let your members know before the early bird deadlines.
The WFSA team will be in contact with you shortly in relation to the changing of personnel on our committees and we look forward to seeing your nominations in due course. There are a large number of business meetings scheduled for the Congress, including the General Assemblies which will formulate policy for the next four year’s activities. We will need your help in all of this to make sure the work of the WFSA advances even more in the coming years!
I look forward to seeing you at the Congress next year. Please contact me if you have any further questions.
My best regards,
David J Wilkinson
President, WFSA.
