This is the depth the water would have if it were spread evenly over the grid box. Care should be taken when comparing model parameters with observations, because observations are often local to a particular point rather than averaged over a grid square area. Observations are also often taken in different units, such as mm/day, rather than the accumulated metres produced here.Runoff is a measure of the availability of water in the soil, and can, for example, be used as an indicator of drought or flood. Foot and ankle surgery is the sub-specialty of orthopaedic surgery which deals with the treatment, diagnosis and prevention of disorders of the foot and ankle. Specialist foot and ankle surgeons are likely to have undergone surgical training, specialty training in orthopaedics and an additional fellowship in foot and ankle surgery. The aims of the society are to promote the development of foot and ankle surgery and to advance education, study and research in this specialty.

The European Flood Awareness Systems (EFAS) is the first operational pan-European flood forecasting and monitoring system. EFAS provides a wide range of early flood forecasting information to support national and regional authorities with flood risk management duties in arranging preparatory measures before an event strikes. In addition, EFAS provides a unique overview across Europe and neighbouring countries on currently observed and forecasted flood events.

For EFAS v3.5 and earlier, all variables were only available for 24-hourly time steps. Since EFAS v4.0, all variables are only available for 6-hourly time steps (but can be aggregated to 24-hourly for all non-instantaneous variables). This is the first course BOFAS is running in UAE and the aim is to expand the Foot and Ankle education and training in the Middle East and Gulf area. We value our industry partnerships, and link are pleased to offer a range of opportunities for industry to support the Society’s conference, symposium, courses, and support research through the EFAS Foundation.

The forecasts are initialised on the first of each month with a lead time of 215 days at 24-hour time steps. The meteorological data are seasonal forecasts (SEAS5) from ECMWF with 51 ensemble members. Ebru Zeren, Senior Audiologist, Audiology Department, Mid and South Essex University Hospitals GroupI had an incredible opportunity to attend the 17th Congress of the European Federation of Audiology Societies (EFAS), held in the heart of Vienna, Austria. The event took place at the stunning Palais Niederösterreich, a 16th-century Baroque palace rich in history and elegance.
Research is the foundation for the building of clinical excellence
Preference shall be given to those publishing in the Journal of the European Foot and Ankle Society. The impact of this was that the discharge data was shifted in time by 6 hours. Some technical issues are impacting the SOS data server with no EFAS5 forecasts available. A bug was identified introducing errors in the initial conditions of all EFAS v5 forecasts since its operational launch on 20 September 2023. The error also impacted all reforecasts and the historical simulation from 01 January 2023. Hi everyone,I’m downloading EFAS flood forecast data from both the website and the API for my Master’s thesis.
This dataset provides a gridded modelled time series of river discharge forced with seasonal range meteorological reforecasts from GloFAS. This dataset was produced by forcing the LISFLOOD hydrological modelling chain with input from the ECMWF ensemble seasonal forecasting system, SEAS5. For the period of 1981 to 2016 the number of ensemble members is 25, whilst reforecasts produced for 2017 onwards use a 51-member ensemble. Reforecasts are forecasts run over past dates, with those presented here used for producing the seasonal river discharge thresholds. In addition, they provide a suitably long time period against which the skill of the seasonal forecast can be assessed. The reforecasts are initialised monthly and run with 24-hourly time step for 123 days or 215 days, depending on the date it was produced.
- The main difference to EFAS it the coarser spatial and temporal resolution due to the global setup.
- Companies can use SWOT Analysis to assess a wide range of factors, from market trends and competitive pressures to internal resources and capabilities.
- Hi everyone,I’m downloading EFAS flood forecast data from both the website and the API for my Master’s thesis.
- Please be advised that only EFAS Full European Paying Members registered as Orthopaedic Surgeons who are present during the General Assembly are eligible to vote.
- EFAS variables (called ‘parameters’ in ECMWF MARS) are the hydrological entities calculated by the modelling chain.

The forecasts are initialised on the first of each month with a 24-hourly time step, and cover 123 or 215 days, depending on the date it was produced. This dataset provides a gridded modelled time series of river discharge, forced with medium- to sub-seasonal range meteorological reforecasts from GloFAS. This dataset was produced by forcing the LISFLOOD hydrological modelling chain with input from the ECMWF-ENS 11-member ensemble reforecasts.

EFAS Council
The Examination Board shall include the Certification Committee and all members of EFAS Council when each examination is taking place and shall include co-opted examiners as required. For the candidates who pass the Board shall be responsible for the recommendation to the Union of European Medical Societies (UEMS) for endorsement prior to the award of the Certificate. EFAS provides the framework for focused working groups, usually consisting of active members in the respective field that are established and terminated as needed. Their task usually is to coordinate work directed to specific problems in audiology across different European countries, to come up with reports, consensus statements, or recommendations for further coordinated actions. This course covers more advanced topics, such as arthroscopic techniques and sport lesions in foot an ankle, degenerative articular lesions in foot and ankle, flat foot and DTP and complications of this pathology, Ankle arthroplasty and their complications.
- This enables your staff to customise the functionality through the toolkit, allowing them to create new applications, specific to the tasks required.
- This is the first course BOFAS is running in UAE and the aim is to expand the Foot and Ankle education and training in the Middle East and Gulf area.
- The motion between components in a mobile-bearing total ankle replacement measured by cone-beam CT scanning.
- The agenda will include the election of new Council officers, and members will be required to cast their votes electronically.
- The European Flood Awareness Systems (EFAS) is the first operational pan-European flood forecasting and monitoring system.
- Tibialis posterior dysfunction (FDL transfer, Cobb reconstruction and allied procedures), tendon transfers, dislocation of the peroneal tendons – relocation, Tendo Achilles surgery including late repair, decompression and lengthening.
- It is a comprehensive framework that allows companies to identify their internal strengths and weaknesses, as well as external opportunities and threats.
- Care should be taken when comparing model parameters with observations, because observations are often local to a particular point rather than averaged over a grid square area.
The EFAS Matrix typically includes factors such as economic conditions, market trends, regulatory changes, and competitive pressures. EFAS 4.2 mainly concerns the addition of new hydrological river discharge stations in relevant layers, wtih additional improvements and general bug fixes. EFAS v5.2 introduces several minor changes to the system, including; Revised Notification criteria for Formal and Informal notifications, updates to station metadata, updated flood protection levels and major rivers layers, and updated documentation on FTP access.
EFAS Real-time Forecasts
For a country without a national audiology society, the Board may accept as a temporary alternative another professional society or entity, which is actively engaged in audiology. The future of audiology depends on collaboration across disciplines and borders. EFAS provides a strong platform for professionals from diverse scientific and clinical backgrounds to cooperate and collaborate.
We have a compiled a list of common conditions which can be successfully treated by several methods, which are described in the different topics. Treatment options and techniques may vary with different countries and clinics. If you are considering whether or not to have a foot operation, your orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon will usually provide you with advice leaflets tailored to your specific condition and operation. The EFAS Matrix and SWOT Analysis are both strategic planning tools used to assess a company’s internal and external environment.

This structured process can help companies make more informed decisions about where to allocate resources and how to mitigate potential risks. Surgeons who complete this process will have a general understanding of the knowledge and surgical skills required but the standard shall be placed at specialist level providing complete confidence in our art and science for the patients that we treat. Revenue is the total amount of money a company earns from its business operations, including sales of goods or services. We hold 2 online work meetings and 1 face-to-face meeting every year, where we work on the drafts to build EFAS meetings with the highest standards in orthopaedic education and training. If you are an an individual with strong commitment to foot and ankle surgery residing and working outside of Europe, you may apply for this membership type. If you are a foot and ankle surgeon residing and working in a European country where there is no EFAS-affiliated National Society, you may apply for this membership type by choosing respective option below.
The factors identified in a SWOT Analysis are often based on the perceptions and judgments of individuals within the organization, which can introduce bias and inaccuracies. To mitigate this limitation, organizations may need to supplement their SWOT Analysis with objective data and external perspectives. EFAS produces 6-hourly flood forecasts (since 2020) and monthly seasonal streamflow outlooks (since 2016). The system has been fully operational as part of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service since 2012. EFAS v5.1 introduces several minor changes to the system, including; Updates to EFAS Hydrological post-processing and increased offering of monitoring and forecast variables.

These courses are aimed at Higher Surgical Trainees / ST3 onwards and are designed to teach the core of Foot and Ankle surgery in an informal and interactive environment. The emphasis is on clinical examination cases, discussion groups and typical day-to-day clinic scenarios. Although not an exam preparation course, content is taught to the standard expected in the FRCS(Tr & Orth) exam; that of a day-one non-specialist orthopaedic consultant. At EFAS, we strive to provide a platform to foster exchanges between industry and practictioners in order to always enhance the quality of foot and ankle surgery. One of the key advantages of SWOT Analysis is its holistic approach to strategic planning. By considering both internal and external factors, organizations can gain a more comprehensive understanding of their current situation and future prospects.
- One of the key advantages of the EFAS Matrix is its focus on external factors, which can provide valuable insights into the broader business environment.
- The purpose of this curriculum is to provide a basis for the certification of young trainee trauma and orthopaedic surgeons specialising in foot and ankle management and surgery.
- For EFAS v3.5 and earlier, all variables were only available for 24-hourly time steps.
