Scientific Programme & EACCME

Outline Scientific Programme

GASTRO 2009 UEGW/WCOG, London – a new meeting for the new millennium - will provide an extensive programme including a range of symposia on clinical updates, the world’s best gastrointestinal and liver science and excellent training opportunities for established and nascent gastroenterologists.  At least 50% of the core programme will consist of original research communications, and there will also be Clinical Case Sessions, Lunch Sessions and a Poster Exhibition.

Programme Highlights

The Programme Committee is committed to delivering

• A world beating array of new science in gastroenterology and hepatology
• High quality updates on the frontiers of global clinical practice
• Interdisciplinary symposia on new approaches to diagnosis and treatment
• Live endoscopy from around the world each day
• A major emphasis on innovative, technical advances in the non-invasive management of gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders
• An overriding theme will be the importance of addressing both research and clinical practice issues at a global level
• Eight working team reports which have been commissioned will be presented at GASTRO 2009
• New research workshops on each day of the core programme
• A full two day post-graduate programme will be offered incorporating gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy, surgery, imaging and other diagnostic modalities. Participants will purchase a “passport” to move around the various options that will be running in parallel to allow them to ‘pick ‘n mix’ according to their needs and interests
