Join this extraordinary meeting as we explore four conditions commonly managed by surgeons and physicians together. Three of the conditions will be based on a case which attendees will be able to participate and vote in. In each session there will be a medical and surgical presentation of their respective management options. The session on bowel cancer will partly draw upon the experience in Scotland, exploring how services could be set up. 

The purpose of this meeting is to help surgeons and physicians work together in the management of terminal ileal Crohn’s disease, constipation, bowel cancer and post-operative ileusThis event will educate, inform and influence gastroenterologists, abdominal surgical consultants and trainees.
