Newsletter Professionals Allied to Medicine (PAM) and Prevention Committee

Volume 19 Winter edition

It was a pleasantly busy autumn for the EBA and EBA’s PAM and Prevention committees. We had a lovely congress in Nantes with multiple interesting multidisciplinary plenary sessions and great contributions from you all! We even had our first PAM workshop! Recently in November, we had a webinar on Wound healing with over 100 participants. We want to thank you all for your continued interest, discussions en support. We prepared a new newsletter with reports from the congress, an introduction of our new committee members, a report of our webinar and some exciting planned events. Thank you all for a great year. We wish you and your family peace, precious moments with friends and family as the year’s end is approaching and all the best in the year to come.
