About ESCP
The formation of ESCP as a society is the result of EACP (European Association of Coloproctology) and ECCP (European Council of Coloproctology) having agreed to merge into one united European Society during 2005. ESCP is dedicated to promoting and advancing the science, knowledge and practice of coloproctology in Europe with high quality multidisciplinary annual clinical and scientific meetings.

The ESCP Executive and Council ensure the day to day running of the Society. During its formation, it was agreed that there should be equitable representation across Europe at executive level with annual rotation of Presidents from each of three European regions (east, central and west).

Just like the former associations, ESCP attaches great importance to the development of training in Europe and is seeking representation to advise the Division of Coloproctology within the Section of Surgery of the Union Europeène des Médecins Spécialistes (UEMS). An important long-term aim is to work closely with the Division to achieve pan-European subspecialty accreditation (EBSQ-coloproctology). The ESCP will continue hosting the EBSQ examinations at its annual meeting in September. (read more about ESCP)
