Our Flagship Conference: Frontiers in Colorectal and Intestinal Disease
St Mark’s Academic Institute is renowned for its annual three-day conference, Frontiers in Colorectal and Intestinal Disease. Each congress features lectures from St Mark’s experts and leading figures from the global medical community.
Frontiers gives its audience the chance to debate real-world issues in the clinical and surgical treatment of bowel disease and share new breakthroughs in bowel disease research and patient care. Clinicians from St Mark’s showcase the latest cutting-edge research taking place at the hospital and St Mark’s patients are a key part of the programme, often sharing the stage with someone from their healthcare team.
The congress has been running for more than 20 years, and it attracts an in-person and global audience.
