WFSA Newsletter: Welcome from the WFSA President

Dr David Wilkinson

Welcome to the new WFSA eNewsletter!

The aim of the WFSA is to
promote equality in the provision of anaesthesia services around the
world. There are Officers of the organisation residing in all regions,
and it is our hope that this eNewsletter will help strengthen the global
community in anaesthesia. We plan to use all electronic media at our
disposal and you will soon see our tweets and Facebook contributions.
Our website is also receiving a makeover with help from our Webmaster,
Pedro Ibarra and the Colombian Society of Anaesthesiologists.

We
are looking for your feedback and contributions. We want to encourage
our trainees as well as our colleagues to become involved so please use
the ‘Send to a Friend’ link distribute this eNewsletter as widely as
possible around your own hospital, region, country and internationally.

This is your Federation and we would like to promote its values and aims as often as we can.

Thank
you to all of you who are already working so hard in so many other ways
to achieve our aims; we will ask you to tell us about this in future
editions
