WELCOME INVITATION 7th. INTERNATIONA L SYMPOSIUM ON MARITIME HEALTH

Tarragona (Spain) 22-26 April 2003 Welcome / Bienvenidos / Benvinguts !!!

We are delighted to announce the Seventh International Symposium on Maritime

Health and we invite you to attend. It will be held in Tarragona (former capital in

Roman times, declared World Heritage by UNESCO) 22, 23, 25, 26 April 2003, with

one day, 24, in Barcelona (present capital of Catalonia).Tarragona and Barcelona are the main harbours of this outstanding and cosmopolitan area within the

Autonomous Region of North-East of Spain. We will gather maritime health and

related specialists from several countries of the world. The conference will feature

symposia with a large variety of maritime health topics, workshops, poster sessions,

updates and satellite meetings, such as Spanish Conferences and IMHA Seminars.

Some of the topics to be featured include: medical attendance and prevention,

fitness examinations standards, emergencies on board, telemedicine, maritime

history, occupational risk prevention, safety and hygiene, marine animals pathology,

infectious, cardiovascular diseases, vaccinations, workshops of spirometry,

echography, harbours, fishing industry, maritime medicine evidence base etc.

The main official language will be English. The 14th annual scientific meeting organised by the Spanish Society of Maritime Medicine, Sociedad Española de

Medicina Marítima (SEMM), a parallel national Conference, will be included as a

satellite meeting, Spanish language will be possible on 25th-26th April, 2003.

We have the pleasure of sharing an important innovation in the organisation of these

international meetings – this is the first time that the International Maritime Health

Association (IMHA) has been involved so directly in the planning of the event. We

have kept the international support in the organisation of WHO, ILO, IMO & ITF and

we have increased it with national institutions like the Port Authorities of Tarragona

and Barcelona, the Instituto Social de la Marina (Labour Ministry), Tarragona Town

hall, some Departments of the Autonomous Government – Generalitat of Catalonia

(Welfare, Labour…); academic and scientific institutions like the University Rovira & Virgili of Tarragona, our Tarragona Medical College, ACMCB, SESMT, SCMG,

3

SEMSUBHIP, Comissió Pere Virgili; sponsors like Cyclops, MATT, Sibel SA,

Asmedic Sl, Ibercaja, Botiquines Sans, Almirall-Prodes-Farma, Glaxo-Smith-Kline,

Astrazeneca and so on; that will make the list too large to be mentioned. Thanks to

all of them.

This step, gives us a new opportunity to communicate experiences in maritime

medicine. This is why we have titled the symposium “A Meeting Point for New

Challenges to Improve Maritime Health”. We hope that the shared goal of all

participants will be acquiring new tools to improve the health of all the persons

involved in maritime activities, bearing in mind medical care as well as occupational,

preventive and psycho-social aspects. We thank all the persons and institutions that

are supporting this Symposium.

Ours is a truly warm invitation to new friends and old. We are saying WELCOME

from the depths of our hearts; we have a lot of both hard work and enjoyment to

share together.

We look forward to seeing you in April for what will be a memorable symposium.

About the meeting places

At a latitude of 41º5’ North and a longitude of 1º14’ East, on the Mediterranean Sea and in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, we find Tarragona and 100 km. North Barcelona. Both are Spanish cities which are part of the autonomous community of Catalonia, which present capital is Barcelona. Tarragona is a town with 2000 years of history; its origins have been fixed in the era of the arrival of the Romans to the peninsula in the year 218 BC. The necessity of an easily protected harbour was the motive for the Romans establishing themselves there. They constructed a walled city which would come to be the capital of “Hispania Citerior,” a Roman province which covered more than half of the Iberian Peninsula. Today, the city has a surface area of 63,000 square kilometres, which include the principal parts of the city and almost the totality of the Port installations of Tarragona. The mean altitude is some 70 meters above sea level and the population is approximately 120,000. As far as climate conditions, it is pleasant, with an average temperature in spring of 16º, in summer 25º. Nearest Airports: Reus (charters from Europe and one fight from and to Madrid) & El Prat of Barcelona (a shuttle train every 30 min goes to Barcelona Sants train station and from there every some minutes there is a train to Tarragona).

Situation: (1) Autoritat Portuaria Building & Tinglado n. 1 (Symposium Venue)

(2) Bus Station & Hotel “Ciutat de Tarragona” (3) Train Station.

INFORMACIÓN EN ESPAÑOL La intención de esta última sección es ayudar a entender el programa a aquellos que puedan tener dificultades en inglés. Razones económicas y de continuidad (todos los Simposios Internacionales de Medicina marítima , hasta la fecha, han sido en Inglés para facilitar la comunicación) nos han impedido programarlo enteramente como bi o trilingüe. Fet l’esment de que aquest programa utilitza majoritàriament la llengua anglesa per raons de continuïtat, facilitar la comunicació sense traducció, no allargar massa aquest programa i el fet d’estalviar despeses; cal fer palès que el català també s’utilitza dins del marc possible d’aquest Simposi Internacional . Resumen: ü En las primeras páginas del programa aparece el índice, una carta de bienvenida

firmada por la presidenta del Comité Organizador y el presidente del C. Científico del Simposium. En la página 3 están las direcciones de las secretarías y agencia de viaje. En la página 4 el Comité Organizador al completo.

ü La página 5 hace referencia a algunos detalles recordatorios interesantes que

recalcaremos en este texto. De la 6 a la 19 hay información detallada del horario, título de las sesiones, ponencia y ponentes, resumen, reuniones satélites etc. Las VIII Jornadas Nacionales de Medicina Marítima a celebrar el 25 y 26 figuran en español en las páginas 13 y 14. El esquema del programa completo está en la 15 y 16. En la página 17 y 18 se relacionan los posters aceptados identificados por números y con especificación del día que pasará el comité de evaluación (ya que el mejor será premiado). Los que los presenten deberán exponer las conclusiones y estar preparados para contestar preguntas. En la página 19 y 20 se indica que los Seminarios de la IMHA tienen una inscripción a parte (200 euros y que los miembros de la IMHA tienen opción a una beca de 100 euros, ello se hace extensivo a los socios de la SEMM). Pueden servir como créditos para la parte práctica que se está preparando de un curso de postgrado con la Universidad Rovira i Virgili de Tarragona (la parte virtual se iniciará en noviembre, 2003). Para más información consulte vía e-mail.

ü A partir de la página 21 la información se centra en dar la localización y acceso

a los puntos de encuentro (hay un mapa que localiza la sede en el puerto, la estación de tren y la de autobuses que es donde está el Hotel “Cuitat de Tarragona”), programa social, hoteles a elegir forma de pago e inscripción (375 euros para todo el Simposium, si sólo se hace la inscripción a las Jornadas 180 euros igual precio que acompañantes). Hay un descuento para los socios de la IMHA y de la SEMM Los documentos de inscripción están en inglés y en español en cursiva en las páginas 25 y 26. Habrá traslados en autobús en los hoteles recomendados.

28

Notas: ü Se recomienda registrarse con anticipación, recoger la documentación e

identificarse el martes día 22 de abril por la mañana de 9.00 a 13.00 horas en el Hotel Ciutat de Tarragona (Plaza Imperial Tarraco) o por la tarde de 15.30 a 17.00 en el Tinglado nº 1 del puerto (sede principal de Simposium) o bien el día 23 de 8.00 a 9.00 h, o el día de las Jornadas, allí mismo se pueden colocar los posters (llevar justificante de pago por si hubiera alguna duda en la recepción).

ü Recordar que las plazas de algunos talleres (están incluidos en la cuota) pueden

ser limitadas y que algunos talleres se celebran en paralelo, ver página 12 para elegir los números de los talleres con anticipación. El de historia de la Medicina del día 22 necesita transporte en autobús (salida prevista a las 14.45 en frente del Hotel Ciutat de Tarragona) para ir a la casa-museo en honor al médico naval Dr. Pere Virgili (Siglo XVIII), tiene posibilidad de acreditación independiente por el CCFMC (firmar asistencia y preparar algún trabajo de historia de la medicina marítima). También tienen esa posibilidad las Jornadas, preguntar a la entrada para solicitarla, condición de asistencia con firma el día 25-4-03. Se facilitará diploma de asistencia a los interesados inscritos.

ü A parte de la sede en el tinglado número 1 del puerto, se celebran algunos

talleres en el salón de actos del Museo Marítimo y en el del Edificio de la Autoridad Portuaria (las Jornadas en español por ejemplo). Los 3 lugares están muy cercanos. Para los seminarios de la IMHA, la mañana del día 22 se celebrarán en la Casa del Mar de Tarragona (C/ Francisco Bastos, 19) y la mañana del 26 en el edificio de la Autoridad Portuaria.

ü Los participantes en los seminarios de la SEMM sobre formación continuada y

una guía práctica en medicina marítima del día 26 tienen la inscripción incluida pero al ser grupos de trabajo de interesados en el tema necesitamos conocer los participantes. El punto de encuentro será en el Hotel Ciudad de Tarragona para salida en autobús. Hay programada una excursión ecológica para el sábado 26 al Delta del Ebro incluida. En la inscripción, a parte de la documentación y comidas de trabajo, está la cena de gala y otra para los inscritos al Symposium.

ü Los ponentes deben entregar en secretaría el materia l de su exposición al menos

media hora antes (diapositivas, CD etc). Les recomendamos que envíen con anticipación archivos informatizados de las ponencias, así estarán preparados y se habrá probado funcionen tonel cañón de proyección.

ü Esperamos que el Simposium y las Jornadas cumplan con sus expectativas y

nos veamos en una próxima reunión. Las próximas IX Jornadas de Medicina Marítima de la SEMM serán el próximo año, 2004, en La Coruña. El tema tendrá que ver con toxicología siguiendo la actualidad española.
