Keynote lecture: The ‘many faces’ of full-face transplantation

Drawing from his extensive experience, Dr. Pomahac will discuss the significant advancements in surgical techniques and patient management, emphasising dermatologists’ critical role in managing skin rejection, infections, and post-surgical care. The presentation will also explore the challenges related to skin integrity, the risk of malignancies, and the unique dermatologic considerations that arise in face transplant recipients.

Attendees will gain valuable knowledge on the latest topical treatments, the importance of matching skin tone in donor selection, and the potential of the skin microbiome in reducing rejection risks.

Dr. Pomahac’s lecture promises to be an exceptional opportunity for dermatologists to deepen their understanding of this evolving field.

The plenary lecture will be followed by a networking reception to celebrate the start of the EADV Symposium 2025.

Healthcare Professional definition

Important note to Healthcare and Non-Healthcare Professionals
Access to the different areas and sessions of the Symposium depends on the Healthcare Professional status.

As a multidisciplinary audience will attend the EADV Symposium, the EADV will assign different classes to Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and Non-Healthcare Professionals (non-HCPs) to ensure compliance with the AIFP (Asociace inovativního farmaceutického průmyslu v České republice) Code of Practice.
Please read the description below to ensure that you (or your delegates) comply with the regulations in place.

EADV members are not automatically considered Healthcare Professionals

Please select the correct status (HCP or non-HCP) during registration.

Definition
The AIFP code defines Healthcare Professionals as follows:
“any natural person that is a member of the medical, dental, pharmacy, or nursing professions or any other person who, in the course of his or her professional activities, may prescribe, purchase, supply, recommend or administer a Medicinal Product and whose primary practice, principal professional address or place of incorporation is in Europe.
For the purpose of AIFP Code, the definition of HCPs includes: any official or state employee, agency or other organization (whether in the public or private sector) that may prescribe, purchase, supply, recommend or administer Medicinal Products and any employee of a Member Company whose primary occupation is that of a practicing HCP, but excludes all other employees of a Member Company and a wholesaler or distributor of Medicinal Products.”

Medical students are not considered Healthcare Professionals under the current guidelines and will be automatically classified as Non-Healthcare Professionals.

Industry sessions
Satellite Symposia 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.
