Invitation to the
1 Scientific Symposium on Resuscitation
stThe New guidelines:What is Changing and Why
Dear guests, colleagues and friends
On behalf of the Founding Board of the Cyprus Resuscitation Council, I would
like to welcome you to our first annual meeting.
The Cyprus Resuscitation Council has been founded as an effort to promote
the latest standards and guidelines introduced by the European Resuscitation
Council in order to uniformly apply and standardize resuscitation principles
throughout the healthcare world of Cyprus.
We also have the pleasure and the honor to welcome Drs David Zideman, Leo
Bossaert, Anthony Handley
Jerry Nolan who will announce for the first
time the new guidelines and standards of the European Resuscitation
Council. This comes as a confirmation of the close collaboration between the
European and the Cyprus Resuscitation Councils.
We anticipate that this year's program will be useful to all of you and we hope
that this is the beginning of a series of interesting meetings.
This program is accredited for 6 CME hours by the Cyprus medical
Association.
Nicosia and Cyprus in general, is a destination with mild weather, culinary and
cultural diversity, a beautiful spot worth spending some relaxing days.
