Invitation to virtual Value Based Healthcare - Tallinn 2021 Conference, 4 March 2021

It is my great pleasure to invite you to participate at the virtual Value Based Healthcare Conference – Tallinn 2021.
The event will be held online on the 4th of March 2021 from 10.00 to 17:00 (UTC+2hours).
Health systems in Europe and around the world are evolving to adapt to the societal and technological changes and the changing health needs as more people live longer with chronic or degenerative conditions. This requires changes in the health systems’ design and new ways of delivering healthcare. Next to reduced mortality, improving general health outcomes and quality of life is gaining importance as the main objective of healthcare.

All stakeholders acknowledge that a shift of emphasis is required from a siloed budget focused approach towards a more holistic health and social care system approach. Future healthcare will be more personalized in all stages of healthcare where an evidence-based integrated approach will be applied with an increased role of patients in managing their own health and care.

The conference aims at raising awareness and knowledge among the healthcare community on the value of patient-centered healthcare.

At the conference, good practices and practical examples will be presented by speakers from Estonia and other countries. These ideas will be focused on developing and implementing patient-centered healthcare approaches.

Participation in the conference is free of charge. Information e-mail will be sent to registered delegates with the link enabling to access the internet environment of the event before the beginning of the conference.

The conference is co-organised by the Estonian Ministry of Social Affairs, Estonian Health Insurance Fund, Estonian Cancer Society, The North Estonia Medical Centre Foundation, Tartu University Hospital, European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) and the Association of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers in Estonia.

Please join us for a high level scientific experience!


Yours sincerely,

Tanel Kiik
Minister of Social Affairs

The European Pancreatic Club in 2021 celebrates its 53rd Annual Meeting that attracts over 600 delegates from 22 countries, consisting of pancreatic specialists, among them surgeons, endoscopists, gas­troenterologists, oncologists, endocrinologists, pathologists, neuroendocrine doctors and scientists. The 53rd meeting will be a particularly special opportunity to promote communication between basic and clinical scientists in Europe interested in the pancreas and its disorders.

The official language of the meeting is English. This would have been the first time for the meeting to be held in Verona, a UNESCO world heritage site with more than two thousand years of history nestled in northern wine country at the foot of the Dolomiti Mountains and coddled by the meandering curves of the Adige river. Unfortunately, the ongoing Covid situation necessitates a virtual conference for 2021. The 2020 Paris virtual meeting was a great success, and we hope to continue on those lines in the other romantic European city, which is the home of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and while in 2021 we cannot welcome you here, there is always an open invitation to all EPC members to visit us.

The ESGAR ANNUAL MEETING, whether face-to-face or virtual is the platform for research exchange in the fields of GI and abdominal radiology and it offers a high standard educational and scientific programme.

The second Virtual ESGAR Congress takes place from June 15 - 18, 2021.

EDS 2021 promises to be a great occasion to present modern management of gastrointestinal diseases. A renowned international and local faculty are going to present the most critical issues challenging our field.

Started in 1983 and held every year in June, this meeting has become established as one of the largest European Workshops in its field, gathering around 400-500 participants coming from 55 to 60 different countries worldwide.

In 2020, it is the first time since its creation that GEEW could not be held due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We will miss this annual opportunity to exchange with our audience and Faculties.

38th GEEW is therefore postponed to June 20-22, 2021 and we will make sure it will be stronger and even more attractive. The meeting is designed for endoscopists and gastroenterologists but also for physicians in training as well as for nurses and GI assistants. It will include live video demonstrations permitting interchanges between faculty and registrants during procedures, using our interactive App, lectures and quizzes. The audio-visual transmission to the Brussels Exhibition Centre on Monday and Tuesday will be broadcast live from 4 endoscopic suites located at Erasme Hospital and each procedure will be performed by international expert physicians selected for their outstanding teaching capabilities in collaboration with members of the local staff.

The overall goal of this course is to provide information about current technology and to enhance knowledge in gastroenterology and endotherapy. Moreover, new techniques and new accessories will be demonstrated and discussed with the audience. In controversial cases, a consensus will be sought by means of the GEEW App.

Dear Colleagues,

let me invite you to the ECCO'21 Congress - which has now been decided to feature a virtual congress experience in order to minimise any risk related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the beginning of the new decade, 2021 will be a crucial year to look into "IBD precise". With its steadily increasing number of participants, the ECCO Congress has become the leading world congress for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and we look forward to welcoming you to a highly diverse programme with a major focus on precision medicine for IBD.

Among the highlights of the 2021 Scientific Programme are topics like direct comparison and combination of drugs. In 2021, we should be able to determine the role of artificial intelligence in IBD, to choose the safest therapeutic option in an era of multiple medications and to tailor therapeutic strategies to patients' profile such as age.

Top specialists will also provide new insights on the real burden of IBD, the optimal managment of disease complications, the best way to monitor our patients and the ultimate therapeutic goals.

There will be a Basic Science Session dedicated to "The microbiome as game changer in IBD?" that will discuss implementation of recent findings into practice.

Having multiple tandem talks, and several sessions that involve all the different ECCO Committees with live discussions during the presentation of clinical cases will guarantee direct interaction with the audience.

As every year, alongside the Scientific Programme, we have planned various educational activities before the start of the Congress, such as the 12th N-ECCO School and also the first edition of the brand new 1st Postgraduate Course, the 6th D-ECCO Workshop directed at clinical trialists, and the 15th N-ECCO Network Meeting as well as S-ECCO and H-ECCO Masterclasses.

Do not wait and check out the new ECCO 2021 Congress website and register on time to secure your seat for our educational activities!

Looking forward to welcome you to the world's biggest Congress for IBD - the ECCO Congress.

Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gastroenterologie, Verdauungs- und Stoffwechselkrankheiten mit der Sektion für gastroenterologische Endoskopie (DGVS) begeht ihre 75. Jahrestagung zusammen mit der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Allgemein- und Viszeralchirurgie (DGAV).

Since mid-March, we have been living in a different reality, unknown to us so far, created by the COVID-19 epidemic. This reality is characterized by a tendency to avoid direct interpersonal contacts, both professional and social. Scientific and educational congresses are the essence of such contacts, and any attempts to restrain them would reduce the global effect of such ventures. The date of the PTG-E Congress, for which I and my team are responsible, was scheduled for September 24-26, 2020.

We have been closely following the processes of "defrosting" particular spheres of life and plans for the organization of other large medical events envisaged for autumn this year They are usually canceled or limited by software and converted into webinars. I am afraid that you would not like this form of Congress, apart from the technical issues of ensuring uninterrupted transmission of video and audio from 4 conference rooms with the possibility of active participation of participants in discussions.

After consultations with the Management Board of PTG-E and Termedia, which is responsible for congress logistics, we came to the conclusion that the only right solution would be to postpone the date of the Congress to the next year, more precisely to 16-18 September 2021.

European Helicobacter and Microbiota Study Group (EHMSG) 2021 is organized by European Helicobacter and Microbiota Study Group (EHMSG).

The ESMO Congress is the yearly appointment in Europe for nearly 30’000 clinicians, researchers, oncology nurses, patient advocates, journalists and representatives of the pharmaceutical industry from all over the world to get together, learn about the latest advances in oncology and translate science into better cancer patient care.

The ESMO 2021 programme will be developed by a committee composed of more than 300 international experts and will span from basic research to the latest discoveries in immunotherapy of cancer, form oncology nursing to palliative care, from rare cancers to approval of medicines.

Paris will be the home of the ESMO annual congress for the first time, taking place from 17 to 21 September 2021 at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, France.
