Welcome to the new website of ESSAT
1 December 2020
On behalf of the executive committee of the ESSAT, representing EDS, EAES, EFISDS and ESCP, I would like to welcome you to our new website!
We are proud to show you our new services with updated information, especially on joined educational activities. We also show you an actual overview of the members that represent ESSAT in the UEG committees and the ESSAT executive committee. We aim at increasing the participation of all members of our 4 surgical societies. Please let us know about your ideas and input by mailing us through the contact pages or through the representatives of your societies.
This new website was created with the aid of our new secretariat office hosted by Arjen Appel and Gisela Brandsma. We are very thankful to their excellent support in further developing ESSAT to a strong surgical representation within UEG.
Kind regards,
Richard van Hillegersberg, ESSAT-president
