I hear so often that GI trainees don’t really know what nutrition & intestinal failure jobs entail. If they knew earlier they might have considered it as a speciality. Great podcast from Lucy, one of our previous Nutrition/Transplant fellows @BSGTrainees
We’re kicking off our new mini-series exploring Out of Programme (OOP) opportunities for gastro trainees. First up: Lucy Gorard, KSS gastro reg, shares her year in the Nutrition ATP! Why she did it, what she learned & challenges faced. A must-listen for anyone curious about OOP!

🍽️🏥 Which patients with delayed gastric emptying are most likely to require clinically assisted nutrition — and greater healthcare utilisation? This study in @FrontGastro_BMJ examines the factors associated with these outcomes in patients labelled with ‘gastroparesis’, putting an important spotlight on a complex and resource-intensive area of care. 🔍📊 Better understanding who requires additional nutritional and healthcare support could help inform how we manage these patients. 🩺💡 Explore the findings here 👇 fg.bmj.com/content/early/202… #GItwitter #Gastroparesis #Nutrition #ClinicalNutrition #Gastroenterology #GutHealth #PatientCare #MedicalResearch @DipeshVasant @BAPENUK @FENS @ESPENorg @BritSocGastro @my_UEG @AmCollegeGastro @DDWMeeting @ESGE_news @dr_aditi_kumar @OTavabie @DrJMKennedy @DunnePdj @TrevorTabone @eathar_s @IrenePerezMD @KGananandan @zare_benjamin @medicalreg @dtleiberman
