Overview

St Mark’s – The National Bowel Hospital begins a series of brand new FREE webinars and online discussion forums, inviting the colorectal GI community to an interactive and engaging hour of presentations, panel discussions, live polling and Q&A.

  • What are the commonalities and differences between London and New York – two cities massively impacted. How were services managed and what was the impact on patients?
  • Is there a consensus for patient pathways created in the immediate aftermath?
  • Mitigating risks for colorectal cancer patients. Have we agreed our treatment modalities?
  • What next? Will there be a new normal for colorectal cancer surgery and what is an acceptable level of patient care?

How to get involved?

We encourage all colleagues to watch the webinar and participate by comments and questions to the panel. We will tackle these questions as we go and seek your opinions on hot topics via simple polls. If you cannot join at the time of the webinar, the panel will aim to answer follow up questions in the week following the webinar.

CPD points applied for.
