Empowering You
Across Europe, prosthetic care has lacked a unified voice,
no shared standards, no central recognition,
no trusted path to professional elevation.
EFOA changes that.
As a pan-European professional body, members do not just belong, they lead.
Whether you are a practicing expert, an ambitious student, or a dedicated partner in care, membership with EFOA gives you structure, credibility, and community.
It is your pathway to formal recognition and verified status as a trusted practitioner
in ocularistry or anaplastology.
This isn’t just membership. It’s momentum.
- Gain visibility and verified professional standing
- Join a collective shaping clinical standards, research, and policy
- Get access to resources, referrals, and global partnerships
- Protection of our certified members through active cooperation with EU Ministries of Health against unethical competition.
- Contribute to expert-led committees
This is your platform to grow, to be seen,
and to shape the future of prosthetic care in Europe.
