Education Committee
Education is one of the most vital areas in which the BSG is involved – from the annual conference to small local meetings. It is essential that we offer access to high-quality educational tools and events to our members and also support our members to organise their own events.
The BSG Education Committee is responsible for the programme of all educational meetings of the society, including those organised by the BSG’s sections. The Committee considers all aspects of education in gastroenterology. It is responsible for considering applications for financial support in regard to attending conferences and educational training courses and it advises on nominations for such fellowships and awards. In considering the education strategy for the BSG it is important that we remain aligned with the BSG mission statement, specifically by supporting the strategic pillar of service improvement and advancing knowledge, so that the Society remains a resource of high quality information, guidance and education.
BSG Education Strategy
The BSG is delighted to publish the Education committee's new strategy for 2025 - 2028, highlighting their strategic priorities.
Event Endorsement by the BSG Education Committee
The Education Committee will review and endorse meetings or resources that are deemed relevant and important to members of the Society. Endorsed meetings are promoted via the BSG newsletters and dedicated emails, and across our various social channels.

Endoscopy Simulation Case Scenarios
The scenarios hosted here were developed as part of the SCALE-ENDO (Study of Communication and Adaptive Capacity using in-situ Learning Environments based on real-life risks in ENDOscopy) study.
Designed for multi-professional endoscopy teams including endoscopists, nurses, healthcare assistants, and administrative staff, each scenario was constructed to reflect the complexity of real-world endoscopy incidents based on a human factors analysis of endoscopy-related incidents reported to NHS England over a five-year period. Scenarios incorporate challenges to team communication, situational awareness, and adaptive decision-making under organisational pressure.
The BSG is delighted to share with you our latest testimonials and reports written by delegates who received BSG Education Travel Bursaries to attend the BSG Annual Meeting
"As an advanced practitioner, it was great to network with peers through the UK, understanding developments in IBD specialist nursing. Clinically, it was great to get updates in IBD, liver disease, small bowel, and nutrition. My favourite was the NET’s session; this is something that is rarely presented so it was good to get an update. I feel this opportunity has been great to support my fellowship, update me clinically whilst networking with colleagues. Thank you."
