Prof Robin Foà speaks about the growing success of the annual European Hematology Association (EHA) congress in recent years and looks forward to the upcoming meeting in London on 9th-12th June 2011. Prof Foà outlines his plans to develop the EHA during his presidency, and discusses some of the other services that EHA offers. These include the EHA outreach programme which is working to help the development of services offered in areas outside Europe and the Continuing Medical Education (CME) scheme. The CME scheme helps to educate European haematology clinicians on the latest advances using web based tools such as tutorials and interactive assessments.
