In this episode of Digest This! Dr Shahida Din, interviewed by Dr Julia Gauci, sets out the scene for surveillance in IBD. Details, evidence base, and clinical experience from this national expert will guide the listener into an in-depth knowledge of the topic with an eye to the future to improve the journey of our patients. A very topical hence unmissable interview directed towards gastroenterologists, trainees, endoscopists, and surgeons involved in the management of this complex and ever-growing patient population.

The Digest This! webinars were born from an original idea of Dr Elaine Robertson, who had the ambitious plan of a readily available, on-the-go, accessible and flexible way of learning that would suit the busy life of doctors. While e-learning has become popular in recent years, expertise and human interaction is crucial in medical education – Digest This! episodes take the form of recorded interviews with expert speakers and allow both flexibility of learning and human interaction.

Each episode of Digest This! is recorded with the assistance of the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Medical Illustration team, and can be viewed (or listened to in ‘podcast’ format alone) on a smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer.

Whilst initially targeted at Gastroenterology and Hepatology consultants and trainees, we believe Digest This! is of interest to other medical and surgical specialties as well as nurses, AHPs, other doctors in training and medical students.
