EUROGIN
(EUropean Research Organization on Genital
Infection and Neoplasia) brings together clinicians
and scientists whose work is related to genital
infections and neoplasia
The aims of the
organization are to promote and develop, at
a Euro-pean level, research, training, screening,
prevention and information concerning genital
infections, precancers and cancers in women.
Developed as a result of a common European
resolution, EUROGIN brings together representatives
of all the specialist areas concerned: gynaecologists,
dermatologists, pathologists, biologists,
oncologists and basic scientists.
EUROGIN has 4 main
areas of activity:
1.
Collaboration and Research
The scientific committee (a group comprising
European clinical and scientific experts)
develops and encourages collaboration on
clinical and basic research projects.
2. Scientific Exchanges, Education and Training
The multidisciplinary nature of this organization
means that EUROGIN is a forum for exchanging
views and for cooperation between partners.
3. Information
EUROGIN is a genuine teaching and information
platform for physicians, patients and public
authorities.
4. Surveys and Audits
EUROGIN commissions medical practice surveys
with the aim of assessing practice effectiveness.
Follow-up support is provided, and advice
and recommendations made to enhance good
medical practice and improve financial management.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EUROGIN aims to provide up-to-the-minute
information to healthcare professionals
and specialists to improve their knowledge
and to give them a better understanding
of genital infections and cancers, diagnosis,
screening and prevention. EUROGIN achieves
this by:
* Organizing international congresses which
provides a forum to present up-to-date information
and current data to delegates, and to review
progress in the understanding and treatment
of genital infection and neoplasia;
* Promoting courses and workshops to review
current clinical practice, new data and
technical developments in cervical cancer
screening technology and management;
* Preparing training sessions to encourage
specialized centres to develop screening
programmes;
* Coordinating and supporting consensus
meetings and expert panels on issues encountered
in everyday practice. These lead to recommendations
for improvement of medical practices and
optimum results in screening, prophylaxis
and treatment, while taking into account
financial resources;
* Organizing satellite symposia at major
international conferences and encouraging
the exchange of information with other specialist
organizations in this field.
