Event Overview
One Day Essentials are full-day online clinical conferences, available free-of-charge to all RCGP members, offering a minimum of 126 hours of CPD per year. All conferences are broadcast live and all session recordings and presentation slides are available to access from RCGP eLearning for up to nine months after the conference (we endeavour to upload content as quickly as possible after the conference, but it typically takes one to two weeks).
Join us on Tuesday 4 November 2025 for the return of our One Day Essentials Gastroenterology conference. This one-day interactive online conference will cover a range of gastrointestinal health topics designed to support GPs in improving patient care.
Gastroenterology is one of the major medical specialties and accounts for 10% of all appointments in primary care. The British Society of Gastroenterologists (BSG) estimate that 90% of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are managed in primary care.
The aims of this conference are to update delegates on the emerging issues, such as the new Faecal Immunochemical Test guidelines and the management of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (the new name for NAFLD), as well as the more common presentations of GI conditions like dyspepsia, functional bowel disorders and iron deficiency anaemia.
By the end of the day, you will have more confidence in investigating and managing patients presenting with GI and liver problems, which will improve patient care, result in less referrals to gastroenterology services and benefit service issues around the provision of endoscopy.
Topics include
- Liver disease (hepatology)
- Paediatric gastroenterology
- Coeliac disease
- Chronic diarrhoea
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Pancreatic disorders
- Neuroendocrine tumours (NETS)
