Pre-conferences held on Wednesday, Nov 20, 2019. Main Conference held from Nov 21- 23, 2019. Description: Building bridges for solidarity and public health: Bridges are at the heart of the European idea. They have enabled the people of this continent to come together, crossing historic and geographical frontiers but they are not just physical structures and can take many less tangible forms. Public health has always been a mix of activities, ranging from the prevention of diseases to the evaluation of health systems, from science to decision making, from practice to evaluation and communication. As a consequence, public health professionals constitute a diverse community. Building bridges among professionals is a challenge but is also common practice as shown by the annual gatherings at the EPH Conferences. In the last decades, health is regarded more and more as a wide societal concern and the public health community is building bridges with professionals from other domains of society: food, transport, social services, environment and others. European public health must also extend the bridges beyond Europe. Marseille has for centuries been one of the pillars of the cultural and economic bridge across the Mediterranean. For millenniums, people have been crossing the Mediterranean but, in recent years, that journey has been characterized by tragedies among those fleeing oppression and poverty. The Marseille conference offers an opportunity to build new bridges: of working together between the public health communities in Europe and Africa, seeking solutions to our shared challenges as inhabitants of a small planet now facing global threats, from climate change, emerging infections, and the global epidemic of non-communicable diseases. But inevitably, much of our discussion will focus on migration and should address the following questions: • What can we do together to reduce the need for people to move? • How can we protect and support those who are forced to move? • What can we do to provide health promoting and protecting environments for migrants in Europe and the countries they cross on their way to Europe? • How can we work together on those issues engaging professionals from both side of the Mediterranean? Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.

Course details: To address the demand of many colleagues wishing to assess the feasibility and safety of the simplified strategy with us, we have started a series of interactive workshops based on live video- transmission of « minimalist transfemoral-TAVI cases » using the SAPIEN 3 valve, with “hands-on” experience. End-points: patient selection and procedural tips and tricks. Live cases will be transmitted from the Department of Cardiology of the Rouen University Hospital Charles Nicolle to our Medical Training Center located at a walking distance. Hands-on experience will be provided with work on the electronic simulator, on CT-imaging in our radiology lab, on TAVI devices and closure devices. Furthermore, 2 participants will be scrubbing with us in the cath-lab for each live case (appointed by drawing lots) Accreditation: This programme is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC) for 10 hours of external CME credits. Each participant should claim only those hours that have actually been spent in the educational activity. EBAC works according to the quality standards of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), which is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS). In compliance with EBAC / EACCME guidelines, all speakers/chairpersons participating in this programme have disclosed or indicated potential conflicts of interest which might cause a bias in the presentations. The Course Director is responsible for ensuring that all potential conflicts of interest relevant to the event are declared to the audience prior to the CME activities. What will you learn? • observe live cases of Transfemoral TAVI using the “minimalist strategy • prevention and management of complications • Get 10 hours of external CME credits by EBAC Who is this course for? Preferentially but not limited to interventional cardiologists already trained on TAVI, wishing to get additional information on the « minimalist TF approach », based on the observation of live cases. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Surgical treatment of Female Pelvic Organs Prolapses: Back to the future? is organized by MIS Academy and will be held from Nov 27 - 29, 2019 at CHU Lille - Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Lille, Hauts-de-France, France. Course details: On April 16, 2019, the FDA issued an order to the companies to retrieve all their vaginal implants to treat POP. This came after the claim of the FDA that companies failed to bring elements to prove that the benefit of those mesh overcame their risks. This order did not involve the sacro-colpopexy mesh neither the TVT/TOT meshes. In Europe, the UK NHS has banned the meshes, and it is clear that other countries' governments will do the same . It will become difficult for patients to understand the difference between vaginal and abdominal implants and we are encountering the risk that globally the use of meshes to treat the POP will be abandoned, which also involves the incontinence aspect. While it is our duty to fight those decisions, which do not rely on consistent data, it is also our responsibility to prepare and develop new techniques that offer acceptable results without the use of meshes. The goal of this course is to provide an overview of the current situation, to counsel doctors on what to do and what not, and to present all available alternative techniques for both POP and Stress incontinence. Participants will have the opportunity to make their mind with the help of plenary lectures, live surgeries and practical hands-on Workshops. Educational methods: Live case observation, Hands-on, Video, Lectures, On-site LABS: 09:00-12:00 OR 13:00-16:00 Vaginal ant and post sacrospinous suspensions, colpectomies : sheep 7/ day Laparoscopic Sacro-colpopexy : pigs 7 / day Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
