EFAS Fellowship Committee is pleased to announce the winners of the EFAS Travelling Fellowship Programme 2022. This fellowship has been an excellent opportunity for several young doctors to follow a fully immersed training with the leading European Foot and Ankle surgeons for the period of three weeks, observing and learning first hand and to get direct contact with many renowned centers and experienced colleges. EFAS will cover travel expenses and housing.

The validation of Spanish and Portuguese versions was given high priority from the inception. Complete data from Portuguese language were available, and the EFAS Score Committee decided to publish this without delay without waiting for completed data from other languages. Following the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the EFAS Score was successfully cross culturally validated in Portuguese. As 221 million people speak Portuguese as mother tongue worldwide, the validation of the Portuguese score version is an important break- through for the EFAS Score. The eleven currently validated EFAS Score versions allow for validated assessment of almost 1 billion people worldwide in mother tongue.

BOFAS-EFAS Young Surgeon Forum is an all-day pre-EFAS Congress event in Edinburgh on Wednesday, 26/10/22. This highly informative educational event would be an academic feast for the young foot and ankle surgeons across UK and Europe.
