WEBMASTER REPORT

Hello fellow IAMFSP members:

I regret not being able t= o attend the annual AsMA meeting and I’m sorry to have missed you all in Kansas City. I am = now fully sucked into the black hole of my neurology residency. Fortunately, the new rules for residency accreditation require that we have, on average, one day= off per week and limit our work week to 80 hours. Supposedly, the new kinder, gentler residency, but it is often a challenge to avoid violating the 80-ho= ur limit, between the long work days and in-house call.

Fear not, however, as I i= ntend to continue to serve the organization as Webmaster and Email group administrat= or. As always, I solicit any ideas and input regarding how the organization can best be served by using internet technologies.

In the interest of having current information on the w= eb site, please go to: http://www.iamfsp.net

or, directly to: http://www.iamfsp.net= /members.html

the next time you are online, and check the accuracy o= f your listing.

Thanks,

Ed

NEWS

BRITISH ARMY: SPECIALISTS IN AVIATION MEDICINE =

It has been a busy few months for all of us, with eve= ryone in new jobs (as detailed in the last newsletter), and a new ‘bossR= 17; to get used to. One of our tr= ainee SAMs has withdrawn from flying training and has chosen to return to General Practice, so we thank Simon for his brief but valuable contributions to our cadre and wish him well for the future.&nb= sp; We now have nine regular service members, and we, as always, on the lookout for new recruits.

Everyone else is well and working hard. The fielding of Apache is inevitab= ly resulting in a number of issues with which we are intimately involved, and = this will continue for some time no doubt. We look forward to a decision on the replacement for our ageing Lynx aircraft, so that we can become involved early in the important aeromedical design issues.

We should congratulate Claire Jackson on doing very w= ell in the Diploma in Aviation Medicine Examination in June at the end of a challenging 6 months course.

Kind regards to all

Mark

FINALLY

=

= I am honoured by the vote of confi= dence and will continue until AsMA 06. So, we are still looking for volunteers to take on the job in the future. Perhaps it is time fo= r the Anglo-Americans to relinquish control and we would welcome volunteers from = the wider reaches of our membership. If anyone would like to volunteer please drop David or myself a line.

= = &nb= sp; We are very short of input for this edition so please consider telli= ng us of your news and have your submissions to me before the end of November = if possible. <= /p>
= = I think for our group most poignan= t was the successful return to space of the shuttle Discovery after the tragedy of 2003, and the loss of our former President, Dr David Brown.

=

Best wishes= to you all.
