The BSGE have launched a new website with a fresh, modern look, better security and improved function. The new site is more user-friendly and is compatible with mobiles and tablets. Features that members found irritating and time consuming, like the double log-ins have been removed and there is now a single log-in for the members area and the video library.

With increased interactivity we hope that we will offer members more, so that they’ll feel more engaged and involved in the society. A discussion forum and case reports should help to stimulate conversation and debate .

The new website has a dedicated section for the registrars’ group featuring advice on how to pursue in a career in endoscopic surgery, preparation tips for consultant posts, courses, videos, fellowship opportunities, meetings specifically for trainees and, of course, social events.

The site is still developing and improving, we are developing a patients’ area and generating and improving content all the time. We would love to hear your feedback, positive and negative and any ideas about how we could improve things.
