Roche Diagnostics Symposia

We regularly organize symposia on behalf of Roche Diagnostics. Roche wants to use this to provide insight into new developments. For example, we organized the Cardiac Biomarker symposium 2019 and the Roche Oncology Update symposium 2019 and 2020.

The Roche Oncology Update symposium is especially intended to give pulmonologists, oncologists, pathologists and molecular biologists an overview of new developments and biomarkers for immune and targeted therapy in oncology.

Roche Biomarker symposium concerns the medical added value of biomarkers in daily practice. Thematic high-quality presentations are given on the latest innovations and developments in the field of cardiac biomarkers.

ESC Congress

The ESC Congress (European Society of Cardiology) will be held each year in a different European country. More than 30.000 cardiologists come together to attend this congress, including a large number of Dutch cardiologists.

Escpecially when the ESC Congress take place in Amsterdam, it is a great opportunity for Roijé Congressen to arrange several projects from our office in the city centre. For example, we contributed to the NVVC Concert, for and by cardiologists in the great Concert Hall.

‘Challenges’ for a good aim have also been organised in the past. Cardiologists run from Utrecht to Paris and Munich or a Beachvolley Tournament in Barcelona.

WIBAZ anniversary congress

The WIBAZ Working Group aims to exchange knowledge between the instrumental services of the Erasmus mc, LUMC, AMC, VUMC, UMCG, UMCUtrecht, Radboudumc and the AZM. Since mid-1971 technicians from the Academical Hospitals work together in the Working Group Instrumentation Management of Academical Hospitals to bring instruments management to a new level.

Thanks to the pooling of collective knowledge and energy has the WIBAZ an important position as conversation and sparring partner for Government, standard commissions, umbrella organisations, industry and other partners in the health care. The Working Group WIBAZ has two areas of focus; clinical and laboratories. In addition the service heads have their own meetings.
