Review of the 15th ESH-EBMT Training Course
The last edition of the joint ESH-EBMT Training Course took place from 8th – 11th May 2011 in La Baule, France. The local organisers, Jean-Luc Harousseau and Mohamad Mohty, did a superb job of facilitating the course. As is becoming habitual, an extremely international feel prevailed with participants from Algeria, Bangladesh, India, the Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Singapore in attendance in addition to a wide ranging European contingent.
As always, the ‘Meet the experts’ sessions proved extremely popular and generated a positive ambience that infected the rest of the programme. An enjoyable and engaging time was had by all in a lovely setting on France’s Atlantic Coast.”
