UEGW 2011 will feature the latest advances in clinical management (in both the main meeting and Postgraduate Course), cutting-edge translational and basic science, and the best original research in GI and liver disease.

Our popular clinical symposia will be even more interactive with dedicated key pad voting, debates, tandem talks, case-based management sessions and questioning through text messaging.

Particular highlights will include modern personalised medicine, live endoscopy, inflammatory bowel disease, GI and liver oncology, viral hepatitis, GORD, nutrition, obesity, and a Cochrane Collaboration symposium.

The Postgraduate Course will feature a day of IBD management for physicians and surgeons, coeliac disease, functional bowel disease, a cutting edge liver course including management of acute liver problems, controversies in pancreatic disease, a 2-day endoscopy course including live endoscopy, and surgery in IBD, pancreatitis and hepatic metastases. Delegates can move freely between sessions.

We will continue our “Today’s science; tomorrow’s medicine” initiative, which features top international scientists from around the world. In Stockholm, the theme will be “The role of gut bacteria in chronic GI diseases”. We will also continue our increasingly popular basic science workshops featuring interactive discussion of rapidly advancing fields.
