Announcement: BSGAR President Elect 

On behalf of the BSGAR Executive Committee, I am delighted to announce that Dr Edmund Godfrey has agreed to become our President Elect from February 2027, before taking up his two-year term as President from February 2028.

This is wonderful news for BSGAR. Ed is a Consultant Radiologist and Endoscopist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, with particular interests in HPB imaging and EUS, alongside a real passion for teaching, education and research.

Many of you will know Ed through his excellent and inspiring talks at BSGAR meetings over the years, as well as his teaching to colleagues and allied professional groups across the UK and Europe. He has been a tremendous supporter of BSGAR education, including serving as our Education Officer from 2014–2018 and helping to pioneer our virtual education programme.

Ed brings enormous enthusiasm, energy and expertise to everything he does, and I know he will be a fantastic President. I am very much looking forward to working with him on the Executive Committee over the coming years and seeing the ideas and vision he will bring to the Society.

And finally, I look forward to seeing many of you at the 29th BSGAR Annual Meeting in Winchester in February 2027. We have an exceptional programme this year, with a particularly strong focus on UK practice and some exciting new elements, including standalone hands-on workshops on Liver MRI and Complex Colorectal Cancer.

Registration is now open — I hope to see you there! The 29th BSGAR Annual Meeting 2027

Kindest Regards, Dr Raneem Albazaz, BSGAR President
