REGISTRATION
Thank you to everyone who nominated candidates for the position of Scottish Society of Gastroenterology Secretary.
SSG is delighted to announce that Dr Ian Penman, Consultant Gastroenterologist, Western General Hospital and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, has been appointed.
The 12 month subspecialty training post in Hepatology, commencing August 2015 at the Liver Unit in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (including the Scottish Liver Transplant Unit), is currently being advertised on SHOW (closing date Saturday 14 February 2015). This is the only recognised advanced hepatology training post in Scotland. Any trainee wishing to receive a sub-specialty certificate in hepatology must spend one year of their training programme in such a recognised advanced training post.
The Scottish Society of Gastronenterology and The British Liver Trust commissioned a survey on the provision of secondary care services for patients with liver disease in Scotland in 2013.
The results demonstrate that liver services in Scotland have many strengths but also a few weaknesses and are perhaps best described as patchy, with gaps only partially compensated by informal networks of cooperation.
