Introduction
Dear GI Friends,
We are really excited to invite you to this one off meeting: All things Endoscopy!
This meeting is truly looking at the future of Endoscopy, and we are lucky to have the usual amazing array of internationally and nationally recognised speakers. We really hope you like the programme, so please take a moment to look at it.
We hope that what you will do is load your car up with your endoscopy colleagues and team and bring them to Sheffield for the day!
Enjoy the Endoscopy Breakfast Club and seeing your friends and colleagues, but most of all the fun and buzz of being at the meeting in person. Aquilant have an endoscopic feast in store for you.
There is also an opportunity to get hands-on experience of new technology at the trade fare.
Finally, I would like to mention the Nurse Capsule Endoscopy break out sessions.
So please share this brochure with anyone in your department who you think may be interested.
I hope to see you all very soon,
Best wishes,
David S Sanders
Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Nurse Capsule Endoscopy Breakout sessions

These will be an hour long and mirror the main meeting timings, so you will only miss one block of talks.

Please note: The venue is now called Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria (previously Holiday Inn).
The venue – postcode S1 2AU – is easily accessible (just off the A57 on the outskirts of Sheffield City Centre, thus avoiding traffic).
This is very close to the Sheffield train station so jumping on a train from where you are brings you to within a 5 minute taxi drive or 15 minute walk to the venue. Parking is free of charge.
Turn right when you see the Metropolitan Hotel and bear left.
Continue under the archway which says “Royal Victoria”
Carry on up the driveway to the car park straight ahead.
The Sheffield Royal Victoria
The Sheffield Victoria Railway used to terminate where the meeting is being held. Thus passengers disembarked and saw the Royal Victoria Hotel.
As a result the war memorial is situated here – if you have a moment please have a look.
