April 15 is Oesophago-Gastric Cancer Awareness Day

This year’s National Oesophago-Gastric Cancer Awareness Day, led by Dawn Elliott, has been announced. It will be on Friday 15 April. Please go to the link on the affiliate webpage of the AUGIS website (www.augis.org.uk) for Dawn’s update and further information.

Please send in photos of your local campaigns to share with other affiliates on the website.

Secondly, just to keep you informed, plans are well underway for this years AUGIS conference in Belfast 15-16 September. The format for the affiliate section will mirror last year, with separate sessions for Upper GI disease and bariatric care. There will guest speakers for each session as well as the opportunity for affiliates to submit an abstract for presentation. So this is an advanced invitation for you to contact me if you have a piece of research or service development project to present. Email me at jane.tallett@nnuh.nhs.uk
