New Year Message from the ECU President

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish ECU members, colleagues and friends a Happy New Year. I very much hope that after the difficulties of 2020 we will all be able to start living more normally and start to move forward.

This is true for the ECU too. Now more than ever it is important that we focus on our strategic objectives, working at the pan-European level to advance the profession in Europe.

As an Executive Council, and as a General Council, we all know that there have been and will continue to be times when we face difficult choices as we pursue our mission. We should not be afraid to be open when that is the case. And nor should it prevent us taking decisive action. But there are also important opportunities that we need to grasp that will help take our profession forward – building stronger relationships with partners, sharing learning and information, encouraging debate, and playing our part in the political and economic environment.

I look forward to working with you all over coming year to promote our profession, and most importantly to promote Appropriate, Accessible and Affordable musculoskeletal care.
