Dear Friends and Colleagues,
2017 is well on its way and so is the work of the new ESA Board. After several years of service on the Board, Daniela Filipescu (President 2014–2015), Walid Habre, and Andreas Sandner-Kiesling have finished their terms of office. I would like to thank them all for their tireless dedication to the society and our members. It is my pleasure to introduce the

The ESA interacts closely with our 38 European National Society and 10 Specialist Society members, is the European regional section of the WFSA and has established and long standing relationships with other leading anaesthesiology societies out of Europe as well as societies relevant to our speciality.

The ESA office located on 24 rue des Comédiens in Brussels was happy to be part of the Heritage Days of Brussels organized on the 17th and 18th of September.

Maybe many of our members are not aware of it, as it has been a while since we published articles related to this subject, but the ESA office in Brussels is located in a beautiful 19th century Maison de Maître, a historically-listed house, built in 1898 by architect Albert Dumont. A renowned architect of his time, Albert Dumont created several important buildings in Brussels and Belgium and

Anaesthesiology is not a ‘manuality’. It’s a science. It’s not about intubating or putting in a central venous line. It is clinical practice, education, research.
