Definition of MeterOne ten-millionth of the distance

between the North Pole and the equator at the longitude of Paris (1799)

The distance between precision marks on a new 'X' shaped 90% platinum 10% iridium bar at 0 °C (1889)

Meter

Wavelength of light emitted by the krypton-86 isotope (1960)

The present speed of light is defined as 299,792,458 metres per second (in a vacuum) and is used to indirectly calculate the length of the metre (1983)

Liter (litre)A litre is defined as a special name for a cubic

decimetre (1 L = 1 dm3 = 103 cm3). Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m3 (exactly). So 1,000 L = 1 m3

From 1901 to 1964 the litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4°C and 760 millimetres of mercury pressure. During this time, a litre was about 1.000028 dm3. In 1964 this definition was abandoned in favour of the current one.

Adoption of EDA part ISwitzerland

EDA in Hungary

Dear Professor Goldik,: Dear Zeev In conjunction with our previous talks with You and the President of ESA, Sir Peter Simpson and following your meeting with representatives of the Polish Ministry of Health, the Director of the Centre of Medical Examinations, the National Advisor in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, and the Board of the Polish Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, I am declaring readiness to introduce written part of the European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (EDA) as a part of the Polish National Exam in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy since autumn, 2008 .

Poland

Netherlands Last Monday the Council of the Netherlands Society of

Anaesthesiology has discussed the modernized national training program of Anaesthesiology, of which I had the privilege to be one of the architects. Starting the implementation of this program, it was realized that the old exam structure had to be renewed as well. Then the discussion was started whether the European Diploma would not be a very good alternative.

The result is that the Council last week decided to recommend the Board of the Netherlands Society to adopt the European Diploma.I guess therefore that you may expect a message from the Netherlands Society in due course.

Glasgow DeclarationThe role of European Board Examinations is

complementary to National Examinations where they exist.

Countries which do not have their own examination are encouraged to consider using the appropriate European Board Examination.

 

Glasgow Declaration

European Board Examinations are regarded as a quality mark for independent practice at the end of specialist training. Passing a European Board Examination does not give a right to practise in any UEMS country. Such rights are granted solely by the relevant National Authority

Glasgow Declaration

All European Board Examinations shall publish both a Curriculum (as set out in Chapter 6 of the UEMS Training Charter) and minimum requirements for examination

 Candidates of any nationality shall be eligible

to sit the European Board Examinations.

Glasgow Declaration

Candidates for the final part of a European Board Examination must be medical graduates and should be either 

Certified specialists in any country (eligibility to be determined by the relevant Section or Multidisciplinary Joint Committee)

or Trainees in the final year of specialist training in a

UEMS member country.  

Glasgow DeclarationCandidates who pass a European Board

Examination and who are certified specialists may call themselves “Fellow of the European Board of …..” and will receive a certificate.

Trade sponsorship should not be used to subsidise the examination.

It was established a UEMS Council for European Specialist Medical Assessments (UEMS-CESMA) as a part of the ECAMSQ™ (European Council for Accreditation for Medical Specialty Qualification)
