Join us in the heart of Cardiff for this year’s premier event for paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition trainees. Open to all trainees with an interest in paediatric gastroenterology.
Inspiring talks from PGHAN experts. Interactive sessions & case discussions. Networking opportunities and social activities.
Radisson Blu, Meridian Gate, Bute Terrace, Cardiff CF10 2FL.
The next JIRM meeting will be hosted virtually by Royal Hospital for Children Glasgow. We would like to cordially invite all interested health professionals to this meeting to discuss challenging paediatric intestinal failure patients.
PeGHAN group holds half a day of study every year. These are geared for clinicians (consultants/trainees/SAS/GPs/resident doctors) and AHP.
We aim to cover common themes that are faced by clinicians in a busy district general hospital with varying resource availability. This study day is on Eosinophilic Oesophagitis.
We are fortunate to have these speaker: Dr Edwaard Gaynor, Consultant Paediatric Gastroenterologist at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust, Lucy Jackman, Clinical lead Motility & GI Food Allergy, Gastro OP clinics, Dietetic led FODMAP clinic at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust and Dr Raj Parmar, Consultant Paediatric Gastroenterologist at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Trust.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a multifactorial condition. In a small percentage of all patients, the disease can be explained by a monogenic background. NHS genomic testing is available for this group of patients and the aim is for their delineation to provide important insights for patients and their families as well as stimulating research into underlying mechanisms in IBD. Utilising clinical genomics successfully in IBD will help to personalise treatments which require multi-disciplinary care, specialist knowledge and the establishment of novel support networks.
This workshop will discuss how clinical genomics can inform clinical care for individuals with monogenic IBD. It is targeted at paediatric and adult gastroenterologists, trainees, nurse specialists and any other speciality interested in monogenic IBD.
