Summary - Faculty of Paediatrics Webinar: Paediatric Gastroenterology

Join us for this Faculty of Paediatrics webinar focusing on key developments and practical challenges in paediatric gastroenterology. This session will provide clinicians with evidence-based updates on the assessment and management of common and complex gastrointestinal and hepatological presentations in children.

Topics will include the newly released CHI guideline on neonatal cholestasis, practical approaches to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), shared care models for paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the assessment of upper gastrointestinal presentations, including vomiting in children.

Hear from expert speakers as they share practical insights, current guidance and their experience in managing a range of paediatric gastrointestinal and hepatological conditions.

Attendees will gain practical insights that can be applied across primary and secondary care settings, supporting timely diagnosis, effective management and appropriate referral pathways.

A panel discussion will follow the talks, and our speakers will be available to answer your questions.
