It is the purpose of FESSH to promote hand surgery in Europe at all levels, harmonize and improve training across all European countries and unite all European hand surgeons. The FESSH Congress is one step forward achieving that goal. The idea is to organize an annual meeting for surgeons with a special interest in hand surgery to increase their knowledge in the field of hand surgery but also to enable networking with others working in the field of hand surgery in an open culture.

The following tasks fall under the responsibility of the Congress Committee:

  • Management of the FESSH Congress (organisation, structure and financial parts, CME accreditation)
  • Congress Manual
  • Evaluation of bids
  • Educational afternoon of the FESSH Congress
  • Patronage of meetings
  • Member of EACCME
