Frontiers 2024 programme

It is my pleasure and privilege as Dean of St Mark’s Academic Institute to welcome you to London to our 22nd Annual Frontiers in Colorectal and Intestinal Disease. This year the spotlight is on colorectal cancer. We look forward to welcoming a face-to-face audience to the magnificent Glaziers Hall, 9 Montague Place, London Bridge, London, SE1 9DD. 

In addition, we are delighted to welcome our online audience from around the world. We will be making full use of high quality audio visual facilities to give our audience an excellent experience, whether you are with us in person, or joining us from elsewhere in the world.

The Congress will cover a broad range of topics, all of which are multidisciplinary, and encompass real issues that we deal with day-to-day in our clinics, presented by leading experts. 

We will also present cutting edge research, and are honoured to have Millie Long (USA) as our Sir Francis Avery Jones Visiting Professor, Antonino Spinelli (Italy) as our Sir Alan Parks Visiting Professor, Matt Rutter (UK) as our John Lennard-Jones Visiting Professor, and Christianne Buskens (Netherlands) is the presenting the Basil Morson State of the Art Lecture.

We will combine medical, endoscopic, radiological, oncological, surgical, nursing and nutritional expertise throughout the programme, and also ensure that our patients’ voice is loudly heard.

The Congress is organised into a number of plenary sessions: 

On Wednesday, we have sessions entitled The Crohn’s Disease Paradigm: Shifting Sands; The Thickened Ileum: More Than Meets the Eye; Traumatic Fistula and Sphincter Injury; and Rectal Troubles. 

On Thursday, we have two seminar rooms, Room One features To Reconstruct or Not:           Rectal Cancer and IBD; Acute Anastomotic Leaks: Avoidance and Coping Strategies; and Complex Cancer: How to Achieve the Goldilocks Operation. Room Two presents The In-Betweeners: Bridging the Adolescent Gap; Managing IBD in the Golden Years; Endoscopy: is the intervention the right one?; and Endoscopy: advanced polyp management.

On Friday, our Room One sessions are Turning the Tide on Refractory IBD; The Unmet Needs in Early Onset Colorectal Cancer; and Small Bowel, Big Dilemmas. In Room Two we have 100 Years of Polyposis and New Challenges; The Failing Pouch; and Palliative Nutrition. 

We conclude our symposium with a session with all the leading lights coming together for what should be an enlightening and entertaining discussion, ‘Leadership in Healthcare at a Time of Uncertainty’. 

We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all sponsors for their support and contribution to this Congress.

We hope that you will find the next few days interesting, stimulating, educational and, at times, controversial.

We wish you an enjoyable time in London for the 22nd Meeting of the Frontiers Congress.
