The annual Sir Francis Avery Jones BSG Research Award encourages research by gastroenterologists working in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The award consists of an engraved medal and a prize: full registration for the whole meeting and travel and accommodation expenses as specified in their speaker entitlement letter. The recipient will be required to deliver a 20-minute lecture during the plenary session at the BSG Annual Meeting.
Entrants need not be a member of the Society but must fulfill certain age criteria or have held a Consultant/Honorary Consultant post for less than 5 years.
