A curriculum-based clinical update in Gastroenterology & Hepatology for
GPs, Doctors-in-training & Allied Health Professionals.
We are pleased to invite you to register for a comprehensive course in Gastroenterology &
Hepatology to be held at the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), London on
Wednesday 29th October 2014. This course is the primary event of the year for GPs, doctors-in-
training and nursing colleagues, showcasing the latest clinical developments in the field and
bringing together an impressive range of renowned speakers. The aim of the course is to provide
a strong foundation in the management of digestive diseases, for primary care professionals, which can be
translated to their day to day clinical practice.
The 1 day course has the following objectives:
• Clinically focused updates on a multitude of GI diseases commonly seen at index
presentation in primary care.
• Comprehensive evidence-based coverage (pertinent to primary care) of the diagnostic
algorithm, investigations and management of patients presenting with weight loss, reflux &
dyspepsia symptoms, diarrhoea, rectal bleeding, jaundice, ascites, incidental findings on
abdominal USS and asymptomatic deranged LFTs.
• Lecture contents mapped and cross-referenced between the RCGP curriculum in
digestive health and the JRCPTB curriculum in Gastroenterology & Hepatology to
optimise coverage of essential topics.
• Each topic illustrated by clinical scenarios, multiple choice question streams and
interactive key pad discussions to actively facilitate an interactive learning
experience. By the end of the course, you will:
• Identify areas of the RCGP curriculum and the majority of GI
presentations which have been covered within the course and apply them
to your own clinical practice.
• Apply learnt knowledge to the MRCGP exams.
• Have the knowledge to be able to contribute to the development of digestive
health services within your own primary care trust.
• Receive a course certificate to acknowledge attendance and to claim CPD points.
