The purpose of the NeSECC (Nederlandse Sociëteit voor Extra Corporale Circulatie) is to engage in activities that wil encourage, promote, and expand the profession of perfusion and the related technologies utilized, in the interest of providing better patient care.
The Dutch Society of Extra-Corporeal Technology was founded on Februari 4th 1976 in the belief that members of the then scattered perfusion field could best serve there profession by sharing their thoughts and experience.
Steady growth is a keynote of NeSECC. Together with the growing demand for open-heart surgery the ranks of perfusionists expanded. Today, there are more then 120 perfusionists working in the 13 Heart Centres in the Netherlands.
Another keynote of NeSECC is its responsability for education and post graduation training courses. Today, NeSECC also stimulates their members to be active as a blood technology specialist in the non open-heart field as well.
The Society works together with the government to ensure a high standard of perfusion skills and knowledge. The Society works in a professional way to ensure the exchange of information through the NeSECC Journal, the NeSECC internet-site and regional and national conferences.
