The Strep-EURO is a research project and surveillance programme for severe group A streptococcal disease (GAS). The aim of the project is to enhance understanding of the epidemiology of GAS invasive disease in Europe.
The conference was extremely positive. Many countries where represented and 3/4 rememberd me and our charity and I felt comforted that I had done the correct thing by going.

Dr
Androulla Efstratiou from the Health Protection Agency
in Colindale - London gave us stats from most of the Europian countries
relating to the global burden of GAS (group a strep) and at the end
of their talk she had our charity details up on her power point presentation
for all to see.
She explained that we (The 'Lee Spark' NF Foundation.) were a valuable
support to all survivors and bereaved. She also mentioned the training
DVD and asked me if I wanted to say anything about it, so I spoke for
a little while about the DVD and as a result I received orders to go
to Cyprus & Sweden. |
