Message from the President

Dear colleagues and friends,
 
I want to start by wishing you happiness, health and success for 2015. I am pleased to bring you this Winter Edition of the EFPT Newsletter on the achievements of last year and announcing our plans and already outcomes for this year.
 
I am satisfied with the ongoing proximity of cooperation with our National Trainees Associations, having promoted and supported several National events. Equally, I have been working to strengthen our relationships with our Collaborator Associations, looking forward to the growth of the support provided to EFPT, while promoting our work in our network and beyond.

The EFPT Calendar illustrates what 2015 will bring you: the upcoming EFPT Porto Forum 2015! In this regards, I would like to announce that the Call for bursaries will be gratefully reinforced this year. I encourage you to proceed with your Pre-registration, apply for the Leadership and Professional Skills Course, and submit your abstract for the Scientific Programme of the Porto Forum. Don’t miss these opportunities.

Looking forward to meet you soon, and if not before, definitely in Porto!

Best wishes,
Mariana Pinto da Costa
EFPT President
On behalf of the EFPT Board
