Improving care for children with gastroenterology, hepatology
and nutrition (PGHAN) problems in the North West of England
 Dear Colleague,
We are writing to invite you to support this new education and networking initiative.
Our multidisciplinary paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition (PGHAN) team is fortunate to work in the new Alder Hey in the Park with its innovative architecture and state-of-the-art clinical and data infrastructures, education and research facilities.
Alder Hey Gastro Days aim to provide a regular forum for clinical updates and an opportunity to liaise with other health professionals in improving the health and well-being of the children and families under our care.
We are keen to establish the Alder Hey gastro education days with members from our local team and colleagues based in the district hospitals in the Northwest, North Wales and Isle of Man to support this initiative.
Alder Hey Gastro Days will be a key activity to further develop our PGHAN network in the North West but also be open to trainee doctors, clinicians and Associate Specialists from throughout the UK. The meeting format will include:
Clinical updates
Clinical case presentations and discussions with Q&A
What’s new in research and research skills
Developing shared care protocols and pathways
The day will be structured to maximise opportunities for networking by inviting presentations from colleagues within the region as well as expert speakers.
RCPCH CPD approval has been applied for accordance with the RCPCH CPD guidelines
