'In our professional judgement, the Bill as it stands does not contain sufficiently robust safeguards to protect patients from coercion, untreated mental illness, or unmet social and palliative care needs'👇


Can someone explain to me why a House of Commons private members bill should be entitled to automatic passage in the House of Lords without proper scrutiny and debate?







🏆#BSGLive2025 - Award For Dr Eleanor Hackney🏆 Congrats to #ColoCohort researcher Ellie for winning the Alistair McIntyre Prize for "EmPath" - a project she co-created to empower endoscopy trainees in recognising & managing Upper GI pathology via targeted study days. @RI_STSFT








So many great things happened at the @BritSocGasto #BSGLIVE25 conference in Glasgow this week. But the main highlight for @Gut_BMJ was our Editor in chief Professor Emad El-Omar @emadelomar receiving his "BSG Lifetime Achievement Award" from the @BritSocGastro President Professor Colin Rees @BottProf. Such a richly deserved award and an acknowledgement of how much Emad means to so many of us. He is not only a great scientist, clinician, leader and mentor but a fantastic person, leader and human being. A father figure to many. Professor El-Omar steps down in December from the role of EIC of @Gut_BMJ and will be hugely missed, but we will always be grateful for everything Emad has done for #TeamGUT for the last 16 years. He is a true legend! @BritSocGastro @FrontGastro_BMJ @BMJOpen_Gastro @eGastro_BMJ @bmj_company @AlexanderGerbes @ruben_hernaez @Siew_C_Ng
