Welcome message from the Secretary

Dear colleagues,

The annual general meeting of the NervClub took place on 22th February at the Rudolf Virchow Centre of the University of Würzburg. There were 43 of the 75 members present. There were very stimulating discussions on projects, webinars, completed and ongoing guidelines and on the interdisciplinary certificate “Peripheral Nerve Surgery”.
At the beginning of the general assembly, president Prof. Pham awarded certificates to the 8 new NervClub members: Dr. Sarah Becker, PD Dr. Arne Böcker, Prof. Dr. Tim Godel, Dr. Andreas Knoll, Prof. Dr. Kai Megerle, Prof. Dr. Dr. Lukas Prantl, Dr. Markus Schmidhammer, Dr. Savas Tsolakidis.
At the end of the general meeting, a new president, PD Dr Nora Dengler from Bad Saarow, , was elected for the year 2024/25.

In the evening, the participants enjoyed a highly interesting guided tour of the cellars of the Residenz in Würzburg, followed by a meal accompanied by selected top Franconian wines.

On 23th February, the annual conference took place in the morning with twelve top-class experimental research and clinical practice lectures.

At the conference, Prof. Kirsten Haastert-Talini, Chair of the Commission for the “Publication Award”, presented the 2024 award to PD Dr. Stefan Salminger from Vienna.

Afterwards, President Mirko Pham organised an interdisciplinary pain symposium with speakers from research as well as presentations on new pain therapy options.
Both the NervClub conference and the pain symposium were very well received by the 80 participants.

We would like to thank the conference president Prof. Mirko Pham for his hospitality, the organisation of the events and the compilation of the scientific programme, as well as for the selection of speakers.

We wish the new president PD Dr. Nora Dengler every success. The next general meeting and NervClub conference will take place on 20th and 21th February (in the morning) 2025 in Bad Saarow. The new conference president will organise the 10th Interdisciplinary Plexus Symposium that is planned for the 21th (in the afternoon) to 22th February.
