I am glad to report that ESCP goes from strength to strength. The annual meeting in Prague was a resounding success. More than 1000 delegates attended from 5 continents! Membership has increased to over 650 with all European countries now represented. A membership booklet containing important contact details for colorectal surgeons across Europe was published at the meeting. If you have not received your copy please contact your ESCP National Representative or the Secretariat.
