Letter from the President
Prof. Martin Röcken

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the entire board, I am delighted to invite you to our 33rd EADV Congress in Amsterdam from 25 – 29 September 2024. This hybrid event offers both onsite delegates and remote participants the chance to update their clinical knowledge and engage in the latest advances in dermatology and venereology.

The congress will be opened by an internationally renowned keynote speaker, who will spotlight the human impact on the climate and suggest actionable steps we can take in our personal lives to protect our planet. The scientific congress programme promises deep structured insights into all major fields of dermatology and updates on hot topics, including rapid changes in the understanding and treatment of common diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and skin cancer – from surgery to systemic therapy. Special focus sessions will provide a ‘deep dive’ into bullous diseases, hidradenitis suppurativa and cutaneous lymphomas.

Expect ten plenary lectures from global experts on topics of broad relevance. The 2024 congress is session rich with 160+ thematically perfectly structured symposia, more than 20 subspecialty sessions and the extremely popular “Late breaking news”. To foster direct exchanges, we will showcase more than 2000 e-posters, engage delegates in hands-on workshops and provide practical insights delivered by over 600 leaders in dermatology and venereology.

Most esteemed figures in the field of dermatology and venereology from Europe, USA, Asia and other continents will share their latest insights in clinics and clinical research. The 2024 EADV Congress will present a high-level of scientific content and a ‘Residents Track’ and new ‘Jeopardy quiz’ dedicated to young dermatologists.

The Congress will be hosted at the RAI Amsterdam congress centre. Nestled in the heart of the city, it is one of Europe’s most prominent and modern venues, committed to environmental sustainability and innovative technologies. With its leading-edge technology, the RAI offers most practical approaches for popular plenary sessions, symposia, e-posters and novel interactive formats.

Amsterdam is known for its unique artistic heritage, elaborate canal systems and houses with gabled facades – a legacy of the city’s 17th-century Golden Ages. Beyond the 33rd EADV Congress, Amsterdam offers an unforgettable atmosphere that each of us will cherish.

As president, I am committed to continuing the path of transformation initiated by my predecessors, towards the professionalisation of our academy. The recent success of our congress programming by the Scientific Programming Committee, evidenced by the record-breaking attendance in Berlin, underscores our achievements as an academy. I look forward to personally welcoming you to Amsterdam where we will jointly experience the vibrant spirit of dermatology and venereology.

Prof. Dr. Martin Röcken
2022-2024 President of the EADV

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL DEFINITION

Important note to Healthcare and Non-Healthcare Professionals

Access to the different areas and sessions of the Congress depends on the status. Please read the description below to ensure you/your delegates comply with the regulations in place.
EADV Members are not designated as Healthcare Professionals by default. Please attribute the correct status (HCP or Non-HCP) during registration.

Definition

A multidisciplinary audience will attend the EADV Congress, and the EADV will assign different classes to healthcare professionals (HCP) and non-Healthcare Professionals (non-HCP) to ensure compliance with these regulations.

Chapter 3 of the Dutch CGR code defines HCPs as follows:
“3.1 In the purpose of this Code of Conduct, the following terms shall bear the following meaning:
healthcare professionals: persons qualified to prescribe or supply prescription-only medicinal products.”

Further explanation is provided in The General information about organising scientific meetings and Frequently Asked Questions from the CGR (Dutch Foundation for the Code for Pharmaceutical Advertising (to be referred to as the general information document from here on out) (20170214 CGR informatie congresorganisaties), where it states (at section 2 a, page 2) that: “In the Netherlands the group of healthcare professionals comprises: physicians, physicians who are being trained to become a specialist (‘artsen in opleiding’), pharmacists, pharmacist’s assistants, obstetricians, dentists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and specialised nurses.”

Dutch Nurses, in Particular

It further clarifies that:
… “Specialised nurses (limited to the lung, diabetes and oncology areas) only have independent prescription authority if they have completed a specific training programme for this purpose. The completion of this training is entered in the BIG register and so can be checked by anyone. This means that all of the other healthcare providers, such as regular nurses, dieticians, dental hygienists or supportive GP practitioners (‘praktijkondersteuners’), are not healthcare professionals and so – just like patients – belong to the ‘general public’. This group will be referred to below as ‘non-healthcare professionals’.”
In terms of specialised nurses, the explanatory notes to the CGR code (20200701 Explanatory Notes CGR per 20200701) provide a specific list to be taken into consideration:

“3.1.d Definition of “healthcare professional”
…. pharmacist’s assistants and nurses with the additional BIG registrations:
Specialised nurses (gespecialiseerd verpleegkundigen):

  • Diabetes nurses
  • Pulmonary care nurses
  • Oncology nurses

Specialised nurses may only be considered as healthcare professionals if their BIG registration states that they have prescription authority. ….
Nurse specialists (NS) (verpleegkundig specialisten):

  • NS providing general healthcare
  • NS providing mental healthcare“

Residents

Lastly, the explanatory notes state (at page 3) that:
“Physicians in training to become a specialist (artsen in opleiding) are also considered as healthcare professionals within the meaning of the Code of Conduct. Medical students are not considered healthcare professional (see Newsletter 2006/4).”

Other Categories

The general information document (sections 2d and e, page 3) goes on to clarify that industry employees and specialised journalists can be exposed to promotional content. Yet patients, patient representatives, and regular press or specialised journalists who target the general public will still be considered non-HCPs and should not be exposed to promotional content.
STUDENTS are NOT considered as Healthcare Professionals under the current
guidelines and will be automatically classified as NON-HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.

Industry sessions

Satellite Symposia and Industry Hub Sessions presenting data on the development, research, or other issues related to prescription medicine is restricted to Healthcare Professionals and Industry Participants as indicated by the Industry Session Organizer. All promotional materials and marketing aids related to these industry sessions should be strictly limited to HCPs. Industry Session organisers can limit participation to certain representative groups independently from the EADV recommendations if deemed imperative to achieving the session’s intended purpose. The organising company reserves the right to refuse single categories, particularly if they are not adequately related to the session’s objective and purpose.

The industry session organiser is responsible for compliance with the session.
