Registration now open for the DDF

AUGIS will be joining colleagues from BASL, BAPEN and BSG for the first UK Digestive Disorders Federation Conference in Liverpool in 2012 (17-20 June). A number of other GI associations will also be joining us and this conference will replace the annual scientific meetings of the four sponsoring societies.

The meeting is expected to attract in excess of 4,000 delegates from across Europe and beyond.

There will be an identifiable AUGIS programme running through the conference with dedicated AUGIS plenary sessions and an integrated nursing programme running throughout the body of the conference as well as sessions for each of our sections - BOMSS, GBIHPBA and OG.

Registration is now open for the DDF - I look forward to seeing you there!
