UIP Engagement Working Group

Phlebo-Lymphology EDUCATION & MANAGEMENT global survey

In this survey we kindly ask health professionals involved in vein-lymphatic practice to provide insights in venous-lymphatic EDUCATION & MANAGEMENT in your country.

The contribution will be anonymous unless the submitter requires to appear among the contributors.

All the ones filling in the survey will enjoy the special rate of just 300 USD to attend the UIP World Congress (Istanbul 12-16, 2022), where a dedicated session will take place in order to brainstorm together on how to advance at best in our field.

Two open access webinars (Aug 20-27)(free registration: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_v17bowZMTu-nJyRG3SGFJw) will prepare the discussion before the in person event (Sept 14). Thanking all for the time and effort in teamworking for proper venous-lymphatic practice, we remain at full disposal (gnssrg@unife.it)
