Dear Colleague,
Although we are already 4 months into the new year, I would like to wish all members a happy, healthy and successful 2010.
Many members attended the GI Nurses 2009 meeting in London on 21–23 November last year. The combined ESGENA–SIGNEA conference was a very successful meeting. I would like to thank Norah Connelly as president of SIGNEA and Pauline Hutson as chair of the BSG-EAG for their very committed and professional collaboration before and during the conference – it was really a great pleasure to work with them. The success of a conference is always the result of teamwork, and I would therefore also like to express particular thanks to the speakers, chairmen, tutors, and authors of the free papers and posters, as their involvement made the congress come alive.
Eric Pflimlin from Switzerland was awarded honorary membership of ESGENA at the London conference. Learn more »

Eric Pflimlin
|
Eric Pflimlin was born in France, where he received his basic nurse training. He has been working at the University Hospital in Basel, Switzerland, since 1987 in the fields of neurosurgery, intensive care, and endoscopy. He was promoted to nurse-manager of the Endoscopy Department for Gastroenterology/Pulmonary Medicine in 1999, and also obtained several additional qualifications (e.g., in the Clinical Leadership Program at the Royal College of Nursing of London and a Certificate of Advanced Study).
In 2001, Eric Pflimlin was one of founding members of the Swiss endoscopy nurses’ society, the Schweizerische Vereinigung für Endoskopiepersonal (SVEP), and has been President of the society since then. He has also been active at the European and international level as a speaker, chair, and tutor in several countries since 2000.
He can take the credit for enabling ESGENA to offer hands-on training sessions with biosimulators at European conferences. He invested a great deal of work in the development of this project at the European level and put a tremendous amount of energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism into it. ESGENA was able to offer its first hands-on training session at the ESGENA conference held in Geneva in 2002. Two years later, this form of training was also provided by the European Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) for participants at the United European Gastroenterology Week conference.
Eric Pflimlin has been involved in organizing hands-on training facilities for ESGE–ESGENA since 2002. His department has undertaken extensive preparatory work and on-site organization every year. He has chaired all of the hands-on sessions offered since 2002 and has also inspired more and more of his colleagues to become tutors as well.
Eric’s enthusiasm and professional work have enabled ESGENA to establish a very professional method of training, and the ESGENA Governing Board therefore decided to award him honorary membership of the Society. The award was presented at the ESGENA Annual General Assembly in November 2009 in London.

Fujinon
The first international conference on capsule and double balloon endoscopy (ICCD) will be held in Paris on 27th - 28th August 2010.
Both techniques have dramatically changed the approach to intestinal diseases but the time has now arrived to look beyond the techniques themselves and evaluate the clinical relevance of these advances to modify our daily practice in the management of patients with intestinal diseases. The ICCD will bring together experts of international reputation, coming from America, Asia and Europe. Scientific discussions will be powered by their different expertise and background. We hope to welcome you in Paris for the ICCD, we encourage you to submit abstracts and videos to make the sessions more attractive with new data and finally wish that the ICCD conference will bring you valuable information for your daily practice.
