Congratulations to Professor Brian Saunders, who received the Sir Arthur Hurst Lecture award at the British Society of Gastroenterology 2023 meeting. The Sir Arthur Hurst Lecture, named after the founder of the Society, is the most prestigious lecture of the Society and the highest achievement any member aspires for. His talk was entitled “Shining the light”. He is the fifth consultant at St Mark’s to have achieved this award, alongside Sir Alan Parks in 1980, Professor Lennard-Jones in 1973, Professor Basil Morson in 1971 and Professor Ailsa Hart in 2022.
