Project 90 - Travelling Fellowships

BSG wishes to introduce a travelling fellowship programme for members with the aim of providing inspiration, insight and develop new relationships between different national and international gastroenterology and hepatology teams

Aims and objectives

Meet the Project 90 Team

Now in its pilot phase, the programme is being evaluated to guide future fellowships. Open to all BSG members—regardless of clinical background or experience—fellows are expected to focus their visit on a specific aspect of practice, with clear learning or knowledge-sharing goals. Applicants, typically working in the NHS, must have support from their line manager. BSG will coordinate visits to approved centres in the UK or abroad, with flexibility for alternative suggestions. Initial pilot partnerships include Newcastle, Leeds, and Amsterdam. Visits usually last 1–2 weeks and are arranged at a time agreed upon by the fellow and host site.

                                                                               Is your Unit able to host a travelling fellow?
