Principles

Engage national and supranational Paediatric societies with assistance and support of Regional (Founding) Society

Fit into regional society networks complement, rather than compete

So far, societies only. “Working groups” not approached.

Problems

Bank fees Accept multi-year payment to reduce proportion of

society funds going to bankers! Offer refund (money back guarantee) if 5 year payment

made up front

Definition of Society Working groups – sub-divisions of Adult radiology

societies Interested individuals in Adult radiology societies, non-

radiologists (technicians, clinicians, other) Provide allied or associate (non-voting) membership????

To conclude

“The WFPI has evolved faster than we ever imagined. Its foundations have been laid and our dreamers are becoming doers, driven by the conviction that the access to and application of pediatric imaging are essential components of children’s basic healthcare.” Ines Boechat, RSNA “My Turn”, March 2013

Thank you for your attention and support!
