Members of the Paediatric Gastroenterology Department at Bristol Children’s Hospital gathered together with colleagues from the South West, Wales, Birmingham, London, Southampton, Oxford and the Commonwealth to look at their achievements over the last 30 years since the Department was established by the then newly appointed Dr Bhupinder Sandhu; also to plan for the future. Among key contributors to the conference were Prof Jean Golding on her research with the Bristol Children of the 90s project and Dr Neelam Mohan who travelled from India to speak as President of the Commonwealth Association of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition. Special guests included Lord Lieutenant Mrs Peaches Golding OBE, Prof Jonathan Sandy (Dean of Bristol Medical School), Prof Deidre Kelly CBE (founder of the Paediatric Liver Unit in Birmingham) and Dr Christine Spray.
