The BSG, in partnership with the Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK, has embarked upon a programme to deliver the Specialty Certificate Examination in Gastroenterology.

The Specialty Certificate Examination (SCE) is a compulsory component of assessment for Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) for all UK trainees whose specialist training in Gastroenterology began in or after August 2007. The examination compliments workplace-based assessments and ensures that trainees have sufficient knowledge to practice safely and competently as consultants. The first SCE in Gastroenterology took place in June 2008.

The next SCE in Gastroenterology is scheduled to take place on 30 September 2010.

All candidates who take the exam for the first time in 2010 and who are unsuccessful in their attempt will automatically be offered a retake at no extra charge.

Dear Colleague,

We are delighted to announce the launch of a new MSc in Clinical and Public Health Nutrition to run at University College London and University College London Hospitals. This will break new ground by providing a synthesis of the two commonest forms of "malnutrition" in the developed world and in countries in transition - that is disease-related malnutrition and obesity.

The Wellcome Trust has funded the University of Liverpool and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) for three Clinical PhD Programmes annually for the next five years, starting in 2008. The topic is 'Health priorities in the developing world' and there are opportunities for gastroenterologists.
