EHS aims to identify and promote high-quality educational courses and programmes within hernia surgery across Europe.

The European Hernia Society (EHS) is committed to identifying and promoting high-quality educational initiatives in hernia surgery throughout Europe. To support this mission, EHS invites institutions and organisations that offer hernia-related education to submit their courses or programmes for potential endorsement.

EHS endorsement focuses specifically on the educational content and value of a course—whether it is an e-learning module, a face-to-face programme, or a blended format. The assessment evaluates criteria such as educational relevance, scientific accuracy, and overall learning quality. 

An EHS endorsement offers the following benefits:

• Increased visibility of your institution or company

• Recognition of educational excellence through peer review

• Enhanced promotion and credibility of your course

• Opportunities to connect with a European network of hernia education providers

*The endorsement is valid for 12 months. After 12 months, you must apply for re-endorsement. 

• You may run the same endorsed course or programme multiple times within this period without reapplying, provided that the faculty and content remain unchanged.

• Each individual programme or module must be submitted separately for endorsement. EHS does not provide blanket endorsement for entire platforms or websites. If you have an educational platform or project that you would like general partnership with the EHS please read more here.

We encourage you to join our efforts to elevate standards in hernia education and contribute to a shared European framework of excellence.
