V Europaediatrics 2001 in Vienna( 23/26 june(

The Europaediatrics congress is the highlight of the activities of the European Paediatric Association (EPA/UNEPSA) and aspires to be the meeting point of paediatricians not only from Europe but from all over the world. The 5th Europaediatrics follows the past congresses of EPA/UNEPSA held in Rome (2000), Prague (2003), Istanbul (2008) and Moscow (2009).

Take the EPA/UNEPSA web survey and help us grow together in 2011! Different people have different needs – even paediatricians. Our success in addressing diverse healthcare issues for the young will never be greater than our capacity to recognise and handle our own diversity. We must therefore understand it together, then work with it to develop ourselves and grow together. In a multinational survey in over 50 countries we will, for the first time ever, build a real European perspective on the needs for medical training and clinical practice support among leading paediatric healthcare practitioners.

Nobody else can tell us what your daily work is like, what your personal development needs are, or which clinical questions are closest to your heart. We would thus be most grateful if you allocate a few minutes to share your thoughts via the questionnaire linked in here below. This helps us develop a better educational and clinical practice support for you. Together we can improve European paediatrics.
