ESCP 2021 Virtual Conference

This year, the conference will be delivered to you 100% online and on demand with a programme of exciting content from Wednesday 22 to Friday 24 September 2021.

Dear colleagues and members of ESCP

As President of the ESCP I am honoured and privileged to invite you to the 16th Annual Scientific Conference of our Society which will be held from Wednesday 22 to Friday 24 September 2021. As you will note, no physical venue has been announced.

Again, the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, still present worldwide, has changed our plans and required that we organise the Conference in a completely virtual format. Although we cannot be physically close and enjoy a face-to-face meeting, the situation offers the opportunity for wider participation, with either real time or on demand participation in the activities of the meeting.

The Programme and Education Committees, the whole of the Executive membership and the PCO have spent a tremendous amount of working hours in producing and presenting an excellent scientific programme. We are looking forward to your participation and substantial contribution to the success of another exciting and fruitful ESCP meeting.

Key topics to look forward to will include:

- Stem cell therapy
- Changing epidemiology of cancer
- Rescue of the failed anastomosis
- Colitis and liver disease
- Genetics in young colorectal cancer
- Current status of new robotic equipment
