Clinical Research Groups (CRGs)
BSG Clinical Research Groups (CRGs) have been formed covering Endoscopy, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Pancreas, and Liver. Their aim is to increase the quality and quantity of clinical GI and liver research in the UK. Cancer diagnosis & prevention is expected to be covered within the current groups and elsewhere and thus is no longer covered by a separate CRG.
The CRGs meet in person and by phone and welcome input from those interested in carrying out research. Information about the membership of each CRG can be found below.
