Gastroenterology

This event has now finished, register to attend our next Gastroenterology Symposium on 18 November 2020.

*A selection of talks from the 2019 Gastroenterology Symposium are available to RCPE Fellows and Members on our Education Portal.

Overview

Gastroenterology: there is arguably no medical specialty influenced as much by the general health of the nation.

Obesity or poor diet causing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and reflux, alcohol and undiagnosed Hepatitis C, all contribute to the increasing numbers attending General Practice and Secondary Care.

Our specialty highlights the balance between the population’s health and individualised medicine; during this symposium we will look at how we can improve both the nations’ health and the individual’s health through our surgeries or clinics.

At national level we will learn from:

transplant colleagues
our world class colorectal cancer screening
transformative programmes like the Egypt-wide Hepatitis C eradication project

At the individual patient level we investigate:

the developing field of Bariatric endoscopy to “cure” fatty liver disease and diabetes
the intricacies of the nature and nurture overlap of IGG4-related disease

To contrast we also look at:

inadequate nutritional input or absorption
mesenteric ischaemia
how to manage the failing gut.

We hope that the symposium and our international speakers will generate lively discussion and both educate and interest established medical consultants, General Practitioners and trainees alike.
