To Whom it May Concern, It is with some regret that we have to cancel the ANZSVS ASC for this year. This includes the co-sanctioned meeting of the World Federation of Vascular Societies. A decision was made this week by the Executive of the Society based on the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors taken into account included the travel uncertainties (Interstate, trans-Tasman and International) and predicted attendance numbers. This may have affected New Zealand and Australian delegates but also for International Faculty and Industry Sponsors. The aim would be to defer the meeting for a year and hold the 2021 Meeting in the Gold Coast. Dr Richard Ward-Harvey has graciously agreed to convene the re-scheduled meeting. I hope to preserve some of the great work Richard has already done. Our sympathies are with those peoples affected by the COVID-19 tragedy. Be safe and be kind, Mr Andrew Hill, FRACS President, ANZSVS President WFVS
