This inaugural Upper GI teaching day brings together a distinguished faculty of consultant surgeons and the team behind the Scrubbing In podcast for a focused, high-yield day of learning. Designed for trainees preparing for the FRCS and those deepening their upper GI knowledge, the day combines clinical teaching with live examination practice in an informal, accessible setting.
