We are pleased to announce the first jointly held meeting of the "European Venous Forum", the "Venous Forum of the Royal Society of Medicine" and the "American Venous Forum" which will be held at the Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street , London , UK, commencing on Thursday 29 June, continuing until Saturday 1 July 2006.

This important tripartite meeting will address many issues with respect to the management of patients with venous disease.  There will be guest lectures, didactic session, interactive case presentations, a debate and abstract presentations.  It is hoped to encourage all health care professionals and researchers whose work require a good understanding of venous disease.  

All delegates will receive a book, “Venous Disease Simplified”, a new text to be launched at the meeting.  This text is designed to encompass some of the didactic sessions but also will function as a useful handbook on the management of venous disease.  

We believe that this will be an exciting, unique event, with a high quality scientific programme and plenty of time for discussion.  Should you require further information, please contact either Anne Taft at the EVF or Christina Feind at the RSM (contact details below).  

We look forward to welcoming you to London .
