20th EBCOG European Congress of Obsterics and Gynaecology

The Congress will bring you up to date information about all aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology. All of the major European specialist societies will contribute to the programme. There will be lectures from some of Europe’s foremost experts. There will be hands-on sessions where you can learn new techniques. There will be scientific sessions to keep you up to date with the latest advances. Best of all, there will be hundreds of your colleagues from all over Europe so that you can exchange ideas and compare experiences. This will be a wonderful opportunity to be in touch with developments in the specialty while enjoying the beautiful city of Lisboa. The science, the entertainment and the company will be first rate. Don’t miss it! William Dunlop Fellow Colleagues, The Federation of the Portuguese Societies of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (FSPOG) was established in 2005, thanks to the joint efforts of the Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, of the Society of Gynaecology, of the Society of Reproductive Medicine and the Menopause Society. Meanwhile, the Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology was extinguished and substituted by the Society of Obstetrics and Foetal Maternal Medicine. As President of this Federation I am very pleased, in my own name and on behalf of all the members of the federated societies, to welcome you to the 18th Portuguese Conference of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and to the 20th Conference of the European Board and College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG). The two conferences will run sequentially from 4 to 8 March, 2008, in Lisbon, with one only registration, and the Portuguese Congress will be held in both Portuguese and English. We have exerted our best efforts to provide guests and delegates with an excellent scientific programme, covering the most significant areas of the specialities, as well as an enjoyable social programme in the beautiful, welcoming and cosmopolitan city of Lisbon.
