Abstract

Background: The European Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (ESPRAS) comprises 40 national societies across Europe. In addition to ESPRAS, there are 8 different European Plastic Surgery societies representing Plastic Surgeons in Europe. The 4th European Leadership Forum (ELF) of ESPRAS, held under the motto "Stronger together in Europe" in Munich in 2023, aimed to collect and disseminate information regarding the national member societies of ESPRAS and European societies for Plastic Surgeons. The purpose was to identify synergies and redundancies and promote improved cooperation and exchange to enhance coordinated decision-making at the European level.

Material and methods: An online survey was conducted regarding the organisational structures, objectives and challenges of national and European societies for Plastic Surgeons in Europe. This survey was distributed to official representatives (Presidents, Vice Presidents and General Secretaries) and delegates of national and European societies at the ELF meeting. Missing information was completed using data obtained from the official websites of the respective European societies. Preliminary results were discussed during the 4th ELF meeting in Munich in March 2023.

Results: The ESPRAS survey included 22 national and 9 European Plastic Surgery societies representing more than 7000 Plastic Surgeons in Europe. Most national societies consist of less than 500 full members (median 182 members (interquartile range (IQR) 54-400); n=22). European societies, which covered the full spectrum or subspecialities, differed in membership types and congress cycles, with some requiring applications by individuals and others including national societies. The main purposes of the societies include research, representation against other disciplines, specialisation and education as well as more individual goals like patient care and policy regulation.

Conclusion: This ESPRAS survey offers key insights into the structures, requirements and challenges of national and European societies for Plastic Surgeons, highlighting the relevance of ongoing close exchange between the societies to foster professional advancement and reduce redundancies. Future efforts of the ELF will continue to further explore strategies for enhancing collaboration and harmonisation within the European Plastic Surgery landscape.

ESPRAS 调查:国家和欧洲整形外科医师协会。
背景:欧洲整形、修复和美容外科学会(ESPRAS)由欧洲 40 个国家学会组成。除 ESPRAS 外,还有 8 个不同的欧洲整形外科学会代表欧洲的整形外科医生。2023 年在慕尼黑举行的第四届欧洲领导论坛(ELF)的口号是 "欧洲更强大",旨在收集和传播有关欧洲整形外科医师协会和欧洲整形外科医师协会的信息。目的是确定协同作用和冗余,促进合作与交流,以加强欧洲层面的协调决策:对欧洲国家和欧洲整形外科医师协会的组织结构、目标和挑战进行了在线调查。该调查问卷分发给了出席 ELF 会议的各国和欧洲整形外科学会的官方代表(会长、副会长和秘书长)和代表。缺失的信息则通过从各欧洲协会官方网站上获取的数据进行补充。2023 年 3 月在慕尼黑召开的第四届 ELF 会议对初步结果进行了讨论:ESPRAS调查包括22个国家和9个欧洲整形外科协会,代表了欧洲7000多名整形外科医生。大多数国家协会的正式会员不足 500 人(中位数为 182 人(四分位数间距为 54-400);n=22)。欧洲的学会涵盖了所有专业或亚专业,其会员类型和大会周期各不相同,有些需要个人申请,有些则包括国家学会。这些学会的主要目的包括研究、代表其他学科、专业化和教育,以及更多的个人目标,如患者护理和政策监管:这项ESPRAS调查提供了有关各国和欧洲整形外科医师学会的结构、要求和挑战的重要见解,强调了各学会之间不断密切交流以促进专业进步和减少冗员的重要性。ELF 今后将继续努力,进一步探索在欧洲整形外科领域加强合作与协调的战略。
