Reviving hands congress

BHG-BHT Congress

Dear Friends & colleagues,

We are thrilled to invite you to our upcoming Autumn Congress on Hand Surgery and Hand Therapy, where we'll be diving into the theme of "Reviving Hands". As presidents of the Belgian Hand Therapists and The Belgian Hand Group, we are exited to unite a diverse group of passionate individuals who are eager to explore new horizons and advance their knowledge together.

We encourage you to actively participate in the lively exchange, fostering enduring connections with colleagues and industry partners. This congress serves as an invaluable hub for networking, collaboration, and strengthening our collective ability to provide the highest standards of care to our patients. Remember to submit your own message with a complementary paper to present in the free paper sessions. The best Junior Presentation will be awarded!

Rozemie Zenner, BHT
Ilse Degreef, BHG
