The Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI) Annual Meeting 2018

The Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI) Annual Meeting is organized by The Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI) and will be held from Jul 09 - 11, 2018 at International Convention Centre, Birmingham, Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 19 CPD Credits.

We are returning to this excellent venue, having previously held successful ACPGBI and Tripartite meetings here. Its central location and excellent transport links make it easily accessible. Birmingham is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city and over the last few years it has seen unprecedented levels of investment and development.

The varied scientific programme includes sessions on emergency surgery, perioperative care, screening controversies in inflammatory bowel disease, an invited video session, NASBO, online innovation, parastomal hernia and advanced cancer. The always popular consultant corner will make a comeback. The plenary research session will be followed by another colorectal challenge pitching the old and wise against the young and dynamic of our speciality.

Keynote lectures will be delivered on communication and consent, the direction of travel for rectal cancer surgery, the patient benefits of randomised trials in colorectal disease and familial colorectal cancer.

We are trying to encourage as many of our nursing and allied health care professional colleagues to attend. Please support their attendance at this meeting.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
