Education Committee

Education is one of the most vital areas in which the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø is involved – from the annual conference to small local meetings. It is essential that we offer access to high-quality educational tools and events to our members and also support our members to organise their own events.

The ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Education Committee is responsible for the programme of all educational meetings of the society, including those organised by the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏ꿉۪s sections. The Committee considers all aspects of education in gastroenterology. It is responsible for considering applications for financial support in regard to attending conferences and educational training courses and it advises on nominations for such fellowships and awards. In considering the education strategy for the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø it is important that we remain aligned with the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø mission statement, specifically by supporting the strategic pillar of service improvement and advancing knowledge, so that the Society remains a resource of high quality information, guidance and education.

Irinotecan, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, is widely used as chemotherapy in colorectal and other gastrointestinal cancers, but late-onset diarrhoea remains a common and sometimes dose-limiting toxicity.

The ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø is delighted to share with you our latest testimonials and reports written by delegates who received ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Education Travel Bursaries to attend the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Annual Meeting

"As an advanced practitioner, it was great to network with peers through the UK, understanding developments in IBD specialist nursing. Clinically, it was great to get updates in IBD, liver disease, small bowel, and nutrition. My favourite was the NET’s session; this is something that is rarely presented so it was good to get an update. I feel this opportunity has been great to support my fellowship, update me clinically whilst networking with colleagues. Thank you."
