BSG Research Website: An Introduction

Case Notification System

The BSG is re-launching the blue card system in electronic format. From 1997 to 2003 members were able to report cases of interest involving specific GI disorders to researchers. The system proved invaluable to a number of members and has aided research in gastroenterology and its related sciences. The BSG website is able to accept returns based on the format of the old blue card. Members will be sent an email asking them to report specific disorders every month. A simple 'yes' or 'no' answer will be required. Any further data requested due to a positive response will also be entered via the website where possible. The BSG is actively seeking cases for inclusion and it is anticipated that a charge will be made to researchers for using this service. For more information on the project, please contact research@bsg.org.uk.

Clinical Academic Gastroenterology: Training Opportunities

The BSG intends to provide a directory of research and training opportunities for prospective academic and research clinical trainees which will involve identifying each resesarch-active unit in the UK and contact names and addresses for each centre so that any prospective research-minded individual knows who to talk to. We currently await the outcome of the forthcoming census which Chris Romaya is sending round. We intend to set up the directory thereafter.
