Introduction
Welcome to the official website of “EP Staff 2026 Belgrade”, an international professional workshop dedicated to contemporary achievements in the field of invasive electrophysiology. u oblasti invazivne elektrofiziologije.
The congress gathers healthcare professionals from the region and beyond, with the aim of exchanging knowledge, experiences, and best practices in daily clinical work. EP Staff represents a unique platform for education, networking, and professional development, with an emphasis on practically applicable knowledge and a multidisciplinary approach.
About the Congress
EP Staff 2026 will be held in Belgrade from March 6th to 8th, 2026, at the Mona Plaza Hotel. The official organizer of the congress is the Association of Medical Radiologists of Serbia.
The workshop is intended for nurses and technicians, scrub nurses, cardiac nurses, radiologic technologists, medical engineers, physicians, and other allied healthcare professionals.
The programme is organized according to the successful and proven format of previous workshops held in 2020 and 2024 in Zagreb, with the participation of more than 30 electrophysiology centers from the region.
The congress will be submitted to relevant European and domestic professional institutions and chambers for Continuous Medical Education (CME) accreditation.
Historical Overview of the EP Staff Workshop
The international EP Staff workshop was created in response to a clearly recognized need for structured, highly specialized, and practically oriented education for nurses, technicians, and other healthcare professionals involved in invasive cardiac electrophysiology. From its very beginning, the workshop was envisioned as a unique platform in this part of Europe, focused specifically on the role and competencies of EP staff – a segment that had been underrepresented in formal educational programs for many years.
The first edition of the EP Staff workshop in Zagreb in 2020. marked a historic step forward in regional education within invasive electrophysiology. For the first time, the entire program was designed exclusively for nurses and allied professions, with an emphasis on understanding electrophysiological mechanisms, intracardiac electrograms, ablation technologies, patient safety, and teamwork in EP laboratories.
Despite the challenging global pandemic context of that year, the workshop successfully gathered speakers and observers from several European countries, laying the foundation for the international character and recognizable identity of the EP Staff workshop.
The second Zagreb edition, EP Staff Zagreb 2024, represented a significant qualitative leap. The program was expanded and further structured, following the rapid development of electrophysiology, including advanced ablation techniques, complex arrhythmias, patient safety, and complication management.
Special emphasis was placed on the standardization of work processes, the exchange of experiences between centers, and the active role of EP staff in clinical decision-making. This confirmed the workshop as a reference educational event in the region, with a clearly recognized impact on daily clinical practice.
Holding the EP Staff workshop in Belgrade represents a logical and strategic continuation of the path already started. Transferring the concept from Zagreb to Belgrade symbolizes the maturation of the project and its regional relevance.
The program retains the core values of the workshop: interdisciplinarity, practical applicability, and international cooperation – while further strengthening the regional network of EP teams. This third edition confirms that EP Staff is not a one-time event, but a lasting educational initiative with a clear vision of improving care for patients with heart rhythm disorders.
Today, EP Staff is recognized as a unique workshop in this part of Europe, systematically building the competencies of healthcare professionals in invasive electrophysiology, encouraging professional excellence, and contributing to the development of modern EP centers in the region.
