Charles Redman – the loss of a special friend

We wish to inform you of the unexpected passing of Charles Redman on Thursday 22nd August, a past president of the EFC and much loved colleague of the Federation. His common sense approach to medicine, and to colposcopy in particular, proved to be such an asset for trainees, wherever he met them. His contribution to advancing the science as well as the clinical practice of colposcopy has been cherished by many senior clinicians and trainees around the world. His sense of humour and generosity of spirit will be missed by all those who knew him. He leaves a wife, two children and his adored grandchildren.

URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT: SPAM EMAILS appearing to be sent from EFC President (22-09-2022)

Dear Colposcopists and EFC members,

We have received reports of some scam emails, asking for money, appearing to come from Prof Maggie Cruickshank, EFC President.
 
The emails have been sent from fake addresses; an example of the latest fake address is presidentelectedcommitttee@gmail.com
 
Please be aware that such emails are in circulation and that we will never ask any money transfers in “urgent situations” or similar. Please DO NOT REPLY to those and report the user.
 
Since this is not the first time it has occurred with an EFC President, we urge you to always verify the address when you receive an e-mail from Prof. Maggie Cruickshank’s, or any other Board member, and not to respond to those who are not from her.
 
If you are in any doubt about whether an email is genuine, even after checking the email address of the sender, please contact us at efcsecretariat@thetriumph.com in a separate email or call us.
Thank you for your attention!

Green corridor – Letter from the Ukrainian Association of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (3/03/2022)

Dear friends!

War has been going on in Ukraine for the eighth day. 

Many civilians are in an extremely difficult situation. Residential buildings, heating mains and power lines were damaged. There are a lot of people without light, heat and often without a roof over their heads. Many children, women, sick and elderly people need evacuation. Many wounded across the country need professional medical care that they cannot get locally. There are problems with medicines that cannot be delivered under constant shelling in some cities. Our government turned to the Red Cross with a request to contribute to the creation of a Green Humanitarian Corridor in particularly affected regions of Ukraine.

I ask you to contribute to the quickest response of international organizations to the request of our country regarding the green corridor.

I think, the professional medical community around the world is respected and trusted. That is why me and my colleagues really believe that the voice of doctors and Yours in particular will be heard.

We strongly believe in our victory and I really want to save as many lives as possible.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Nataliya Volodko

Head and Professor of department Oncology and Radiology  

Danylo Halytsky Lviv National medical university,

President of UACCP,
