European Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion
Nach 15,5 Jahren ehrenamtlicher Mitarbeit im EBCP hat Fr
au Renate Behr bekannt gegeben, ihre Arbeit im Zertifizierungskomitee zu
beenden. Frau Behr hat über diesen langen Zeitraum mit viel Engagement das
European Board geprägt und mit ihrer Person maßgeblich zum Erfolg dieses
Gremiums beigetragen. Heute ist die Zertifizierung nach EBCP Einstellungsvoraussetzung
in den meisten Kliniken und das Ausbildungsniveau für Kardiotechniker ist
europaweit deutlich gestiegen. Möglich wurde dies vor allem durch die engagierte
Arbeit von Kolleginnen und Kollegen wie Renate Behr, die feierlich vom European
Board verabschiedet wurde.

Dear
colleagues, the European Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (EBCP) welcomes
you to join in and support the efforts to improve and to harmonize Perfusion
Education and Training throughout Europe. Since the foundation of EBCP in
1991, the processes of the accreditation of Perfusion Education and Training
Programmes and the certification of Cardiovascular Perfusionists have been
very successfully implemented. Virtually every national society or association
for Cardiovascular Perfusionists has delegates to EBCP and takes part in
the above mentioned programmes. It is the national organizations that form
the base for successful training of new graduates. EBCP is providing a tool
to establish a framework for European cooperation and for facilitating the
free movement of Cardiovascular Perfusionists within Europe. Together with
our partnering organizations, namely the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic
Surgery (EACTS) and the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiologists
(EACTA), good progress has been made in establishing a platform for the
exchange of new ideas. The result of this progress can be witnessed at the
annual Perfusion Education Conferences. We would like to welcome all interested
European Cardiovascular Perfusionists to get involved and join our efforts.
Frank Merkle, EBCP General Secretary
Dear
colleagues At the EBCP board meeting in Geneva in September 2007, I was
elected chairman of the board. I would like to take the opportunity to thank
you for your trust and support. It is not an easy task to succeed Professor
Dietrich Birnbaum in this position. I would like to thank him for his relentless
commitment to the EBCP and for introducing me to the work of the board.
My current position is that of a consultant and professor in cardio-thoracic
surgery at the Trondheim University Hospital in Norway. I have had and still
have a strong scientific interest in different aspects of perfusion. Since
its foundation in 1991, the EBCP has come a long way in establishing accreditation
of perfusion education and certification of Perfusionists in Europe. In
recent years new member countries have joined the European Union and even
more countries seek a closer collaboration with European institutions. It
is my belief that the dialogue with these countries will represent an important
part of the work of the board in the near future. We have to address these
issues with an open mind and work towards an exchange of ideas and knowledge.
I am looking forward to serve the board to achieve its goals and hope that
my efforts will contribute to a continuation of previous successes.
Prof. Alexander Wahba MD,
EBCP-Chairman
