Break the Distance!
Welcome to the heart of Switzerland and to the 12th ECET Congress: Break the Distance! With its spectacular architecture, the Culture and Congress Centre Lucerne provides a fitting ambience for an international audience. True to the congress motto “Break the Distance”, barriers will be torn down, the distance between illness and specialist medical expertise overcome and the insecurity that exists between shame and the desire to ensure quality of life will be promoted. A varied and fascinating programme from the forefront of stoma, wound and continence treatments awaits you during the three-day congress, offering an insight into up-to-the-minute scientific findings and research. Workshops and presentations provide a forum to address the everyday issues confronting patients as well as stoma, wound and continence therapists. Guest speakers will not be constrained by the taboos normally associated with stoma, wound and continence care; instead they will openly address issues and offer encouragement to those working in the ECET field. Patients will also be given a voice.
Don’t miss this opportunity to attend an international congress covering topics that concern us all. The organisers of the 12th ECET Congress will also arrange an attractive social programme with plenty of information and networking opportunities for experts, patients, doctors and carers, showing that solutions can be searched for and found. If you are interested in the important work we are doing and the advances that have been made, visit us at the “Break the Distance” Congress. We look forward to seeing you there.
