ivepa has been founded in 1993
with support of the Austrian Society of Gastroenterology and Hepatology from a small
nucleus at the Viennese General Hospital. We try to promote communication between GI nurses. Social programs around our seminars bring colleagues closer together and have initiated friendships and co-operations. From the beginning we have mainly been engaged in educational matters. We now organise three professional seminars a year (e.g. Hands-on-Courses; Whats new in Endoscopy-Seminars; Paychological Workshops). Each year, the principal meeting is held in combination with the GI Physicians annual convention. IVEPA members are regular and plentiful guests of the annual Endoscopy Postgraduate Course in Vienna. During the last two years qualified teaching centres have been found and the association helps with arrangements. National guidlines of endoscopy procedures have been established, discussed and published. We are now negotiating an approved training in gastroenterological endoscopy of 6 month length. Instead of an own newsletter we may participate in the future in "Austrian Endoscopy News", the newsletter of the Endoscopy Group of the Austrian Society for Gastroenterology and Hepatology. ivepa has 210 members now and is growing constantly (1996 185 members). There are four groups of members:
The governing board of ivepa consists of eight members and meets three to four times per year. |
