We hope you will support this meeting. You may have already attended the previous dietetic symposia we have hosted. This meeting is trying to support UK GI Dietitians; the topics and speakers have been suggested and picked by Dietitians. 

This is the 4th Sheffield National Dietetic GI Symposium. The programme includes hot topics about areas of our GI practice, and examples of great practice! The speakers selected are nationally and, for some, internationally recognised. We hope that the talks are relevant and will influence your clinical practice. It may be contentious but we hope you will find this both interesting and inspiring. 

The meeting is entirely free and feedback from previous symposia suggest a >95% good to excellent rating. 

So, please share this with anyone in your department who you think may be interested. This year we are hosting the event in person and online – but we would encourage the majority of you to attend in person as it’s much more fun with everyone in the same room, and a symposium is much more than just a series of talks.

To receive the free delegate bag containing informative literature, product samples and a mug for a virtual coffee break, kindly provided by our main sponsor, Dr Schär, please follow the link to their website once you have registered for the symposium. 

We do hope you will attend!

Best wishes, 

Nick Trott, Christian Shaw  & Rachel Buckle

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.
