Join us on 14th November 2025 at the RCP Spine Building in Liverpool for the 10th annual BSG National Introduction Day as we welcome new trainees to the gastroenterology speciality.

This event is designed for those new to the Gastroenterology HST programme or those at IMT3 level who are considering a career in gastroenterology. Our primary aim is to welcome you to the programme, but also highlight the many and diverse opportunities available to you within the speciality and your future career.

The event will comprise a series of introductory talks from gastroenterologists around the country with wide-ranging experience, including sessions on sub-specialist topics and more practical aspects, including how the shape of training affects you, the speciality exam and flexible working.

There will also be a section on opportunities outside of the programme, both within training and after completion of training. Finally, it will provide an excellent opportunity to meet your future colleagues, network, ask questions and build the foundations of future working relationships.

It will be a busy day, but one that will hopefully reinforce what a fantastic speciality you have chosen to be part of.
