Gastroenterology and Endotherapy European Workshop (GEEW)

Gastroenterology and Endotherapy European Workshop (GEEW)

Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium

The Department of Gastroenterology of Erasme University Hospital was founded in 1977. This was the pioneering times of therapeutic endoscopy and Michel Cremer, who was the Chief of Department at that time, felt the need for providing education through live demonstrations in an area which was dramatically changing patient’s management. It was impossible to accomodate many observers in the rooms of therapeutic endoscopy and creating a Workshop of Endoscopy and Endotherapy allowed to provide teaching to many peoples while keeping the possibility for close interaction.

The Department of Gastroenterology has become much larger and includes Hepatology, Transplantation, Pancreatology, Digestive Oncology and Digestive Surgery, offering an ideal platform for teaching the integrated management of patients with GI diseases.

GEEW offer an overview of all the techniques of diagnostic and therapy involving endoscopy, which may be offered to patients with GI, liver, pancreatic or oncological diseases. These live demonstrations are always performed together by members of their team in collaboration with the most respected and recognized international Faculty members. Patients are always considered with the highest respect and perfectly informed about the purpose of their treatment and involvement of foreign Faculty as a plus for their optimal management.
