1st Benelux Workshop Education & Training in Disaster Medicine
Brussels, Belgium – Arnhem, The Netherlands

The World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM) initiated in 2003 A process of developing international standards and guidelines with respect to emergency health and disaster medicine.
Following a number of preparatory meetings in Melbourne, Limelette, Barcelona, Athens and Edinburgh, an Issues Paper was published and discussed during an international conference in Brussels (October 29-30, 2004) (http://wadem.medicine.wisc.edu/IssuesPaper.htm). The general approach and conceptual framework has also been presented during the 2005 and 2007 World Conference on Disaster and Emergency Medicine in Edinburgh and Amsterdam http://wadem.medicine.wisc.edu/.

The objective of the next round of expert meetings and workshops is to prepare an international consensus document (Policy Paper) formulating educational standards and guidelines, highlighting core competencies and training requirements for various situations where there exists a major threat to the health of a community.
