ISPOG On The Move

This Spring, many members of ISPOG were travelling to meet colleagues and engage in meetings. On 2 February 2024, the first Nordic symposium of ISPOG was organized in Copenhagen by the Danish (Philip Keubel), the Swedish (Klass Abrahamsson) and the Dutch society (Jeroen Dijkstra). Gathered in the beautiful Ubuntu house, experiences from the three countries were shared about the organization of care and education from a bio-psycho-social perspective.

Halfway the day, we were surprised by the King’s guard that was marching through the street. As our incoming president, Chulmin Lee visited Aurora, Colorado in the USA for NASPOG’s meeting from 7-10 March 2024. He spoke about psychological stress and CIN. On 15 March 2024 during the annual meeting of the German society, an ISPOG symposium was held on trauma both for the patients and for the caregivers. Trauma was the overarching theme of the conference.

Speakers were Barbara Maier (AT), Marielle van Pampus (NL) and Dov Feldberg (IS) The Spring tour of ISPOG was concluded at the ESC in Bilbao on 2 May 2024 where an ISPOG session on sexuality and contraception was hosted. Vivian Pramateroff (DE) spoke about sexuality over the lifespan, Chulmin Lee about contraception and sexuality and M.Caroline Vos on female reproduction and embodiment. It is great to be able eachother again and share our knowledge and experiences.
