  11. IAAS Priorities  The IAAS is committed to becoming less Eurocentric and more global. They aim to achieve this by: o Electing a non European president - The President Elect is Beverly Philip from the USA o Expanding IAAS into Asia. China is investing heavily into Ambulatory Surgery and will host the IAAS Congress in 2017 o China is planning to educate and help other Asian Countries develop Ambulatory Surgery o Expanding IAAS further into South America with Colombia just coming on board the IAAS GA and bidding to host the 2019 IAAS Conference.  International Benchmarking: o Australia, UK and USA have been invited to participate International Association for Ambulatory Surgery

  12. Final thoughts  With the future expansion and growth of Ambulatory Surgery in Asia, it is vital for Australia to continue it’s representation within the IAAS hierarchy, to strengthen our image when dealing and negotiating with Government  We need to continue to strengthen ties between our two organisations, ADHA and ADSNA to ensure a comprehensive representation of Day Surgery in Australia  Australians can be proud of the standards that we have in our Day Hospitals. However, continued international collaboration and communication is vital for us to be at the cutting edge of Day Surgery development. International Association for Ambulatory Surgery
