The rheumatology gastroenterology interface: It’s a gut feeling

This unique and relevant meeting will highlight overlapping aspects of gastroenterology and rheumatology. Top speakers will present the latest understanding of complex clinical areas common to both specialities, update and enhance knowledge in gastroenterology for the rheumatology clinic, improve patient care and stimulate closer collaboration. 

Attendees will receive a comprehensive update of the latest research across a broad spectrum of functional gastrointestinal diseases, including coeliac disease and autoimmune hepatitis. Additionally, we will examine the rheumatological manifestations of these conditions and their treatment.

The role of the gut microbiome will be explored as well as its impact on immunology and autoimmune disease.

Attendees will gain insight into:

• A wide range of gastrointestinal diseases (such as coeliac disease), their rheumatological implications and treatment strategies
• The influence of the gut microbiome on immunology and autoimmune disease
• Autoimmune hepatitis and its rheumatological manifestations
• The implications of immunosuppression on the gut (potential risks and benefits)
