Connecting the continent, Welcoming the World ... while Engaging with all the UIP. Written by Dr Juan Chunga Prieto for the UIP December 2023 newsletter (https://lnkd.in/g58w6AMb). The UIP Engagement Working Group (EWG) was formed with the aim of opening the doors of the UIP to pro-active professionals, in representation of geographical (members from all continents) and gender equality. New generations collaborate with top experts in the EWG, so fostering vital synergy. Currently the EWG is in its second term and it had its second in-person session during the UIP Miami World Congress. Every World congress hosts indeed a dedicated EWG session, where showcasing the accomplished missions, while interacting with the audience regarding the ongoing and potentially to be developed projects. The opening of the session was led by the current President- of the UIP, prof. Sergio Gianesini and the Chair of the EWG Dr. Juan Chunga Prieto, who summed up vision and mission of the different projects, while stimulating the audience to get interactice with the UIP. Then, EWG members dove into the projects details, following a continental representation. Dr. Nathalia Cardoso, representative of Latin America presented the “UIPodcast” project, dedicated to digital interaction involving top experts . Dr. Jesús Arriaga, representative of North America, presented the “Questions and Answers with patients” project, dedicated to stimulate patient awarenss. Dr. Nicholas Neaume, representative of Europe, presented the project “Raise your voice” to stimulate proactive attitude in the vein-lymphatic community and finally, but not for importance, the representative of Asia, Dr. Takahiro Imai, presented the project “A day in the life”, in which Phlebology everyday practice is showcased to the audience, also to stimulate appropriate practice. After the presentations, the public was eager to take part in both the EWG and the related projects. A major issue the audience raised is the language barrier: UIP took note and is already exploring AI systems to always facilitate communication. Colleagues from the United States suggested that UIP focuses on public vein awareness, with a special focus on what phlebology is. This is a topic already included in the ongoing discussion of an eventual more contemporary new UIP name, including not only the world “Phlebology” but also “VeIn”, indeed with the aim of explaining the “Phlebology” world meaning. Last but not least, from Latin America, a target on Family Medicine was recommended. It was a session full of camaraderie and motivation on the part of all participants.

Our next UIP Month 24 Zoom is on January 24. Looking forward for demonstrating together that UIP starts with “U”, UIP looks forward for listening to “U” this January 24, at 4 pm Rome time, at this zoom link: https://lnkd.in/dk7-BFnc Meeting ID: 889 1360 5824 Passcode: 916415 See you soon! #UIP #UIPPhlebology
