title: European Practice Database in Belgium.
abstract: After the successful pilot EPD Project in 2002-2003, we decided to perform the EPD project in four additional countries: Belgium, Greece, Norway and Scotland. Before starting the EPD Project in Belgium, we installed a Belgium National EPD Board in order to support the practical organisation of this project. National coordinators were Luc Picavet (Chair) and Sylviane Boullé (Wallonia). The members of the Belgium National EPD Board were Jean-Yves De Vos (President of National Association, ORPADT Flanders), Hichem Marzougui (Link member, Association of Dialysis Technicians) and Luc Vonckx (President of Association of Dialysis Technicians).
