This was the Virtual NeuroGASTRO 2021
The main 2021 Neurogastroenterology event was the “5th Meeting of the European Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility - NeuroGASTRO 2021”. It was the first (and hopefully the single) European Neurogastroenterology meeting to be held only virtually due to the Covid pandemic. A marathon of Neurogastroenterology was held between September 2nd to 4th, (sometimes until late in the night), with key opinion leaders presenting State-of-the-Art topics in the field and young scientists showing their papers.
The outstanding programme included a wide array of topics such as diagnosis, evaluation and management of digestive motility diseases and future diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The programme stood under the motto: “Advancing understanding and management in Neurogastroenterology and Motility”. The associated Postgraduate Course provided participants with an update in the management of clinical problems in Neurogastroenterology and Motility.
A special moment in the opening ceremony was the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award to Professor David Grundy (UK).
