Extract

May and June were busy months in Europe for technology assessors. Following the International Society meeting in Rotterdam, many people went on to the quality assurance meeting at WHO in Copenhagen and the International Hospital Federation Congress in Helsinki. “Modern Technology—How Much and for Whom,” was one of the main themes of the congress; with an attendance of about 400 there was an opportunity to get the ideas about technology assessment across to a large group of health care managers and professionals. For those of us who spoke it was also a chance to meet members of the Finnish Society for Technology Assessment. This may be the only national society for health technology assessment, and with 70 members, it is clearly going to be influential.
