Opportunities to contribute to Cochrane reviews in IBD
Following-on from Morris’s presentation during the research session at the Annual Meeting in Leeds, the Cochrane IBD and Functional Bowel Disorder Group is actively looking to work with any and all BSPGHAN members in completing further systematic reviews in IBD. There are lots of ways that members can contribute – including those with no experience all the way through to those with active reviews who simply need some help. If you are interested please contact Morris Gordon mgordon@uclan.ac.uk
The Joint BSPGHAN / NIHR Children GHN Research Working Group
The Research Working Group (RWG) brings together BSPGHAN and the NIHR Children, Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (GHN) Clinical Studies Group. The overall aim is to protect and improve the health and well being of children and young people through fostering research in gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition. The combined nature of the group allows us to promote and facilitate a broad range of research activities – please see our Research Strategy
We trust that the site is a useful first port of call for many issues related to research in paediatric GHN in the UK. In particular, we hope that it is a useful starting place for trainees to begin or develop their career in research.
Please do help us to keep the information up-to-date by contacting research@bspghan.org.uk with any updates or new developments. Also, please do suggest any additional areas that it would be useful to cover on the site.
