🇩🇰 What makes Frontiers different? In this video from a previous Frontiers, we hear from a Consultant Colorectal Surgeon who travelled from Denmark to join us in London. She reflects on the range of topics particularly relevant to her work as a colorectal surgeon, and the opportunity Frontiers provides to discuss special issues that there are not many other places to go and talk about. 🌍 This November, clinicians from the UK and around the world will come together once again for Frontiers in Colorectal and Intestinal Disease 2026. 📅 18–20 November 2026 📍 St Mark’s Hospital & Royal College of Surgeons, London 💻 In-person and online options available 👉 Find out more and register: stmarksacademicinstitute.org… #Frontiers2026 #ColorectalSurgery

🌍 Collaboration is at the heart of Horizons Horizons in Intestinal Failure isn’t just about sharing expertise from within St Mark’s — it’s also an opportunity to bring together specialists from across the wider intestinal failure community. We were delighted to welcome Neil Russell, Consultant Transplant Surgeon at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, for the invited lecture: “When to transplant?” Invited lectures are an important part of Horizons, giving our delegates the opportunity to hear different perspectives, share knowledge and learn from expertise beyond St Mark’s. A huge thank you to Neil for joining us and contributing to another fantastic day at Horizons 2026. #Horizons2026 #IntestinalFailure @AlisonCulkin @simongabe @RoyalCollegeOf3 @LNWH_NHS
