Announcement. BSGAR President Elect from February 2025

"On behalf of the BSGAR Executive Committee I am delighted to announce that Dr Raneem Albazaz has agreed to become our President Elect from February 2025.  She will begin her 2-year term as President in February 2026. This is great news for the Society.  Dr Albazaz is a consultant radiologist in Leeds and has a special clinical interest in HPB imaging as well as a passion for teaching and research. She will be known to many of you from her many excellent and inspiring talks to the Society over the years, as well as her lectures to allied professional societies in the UK and Europe.  Recently she served the Society very effectively as Secretary from 2019 to 2023. I am very much looking forward to working with her again on the BSGAR Executive Committee, bringing her calm competence and effective leadership to the group. I look forward to seeing you all at the virtual BSGAR Annual Meeting in February 2025 - look at the programme, it’s great!, and registration is open now

BSGAR Charity Status - announcement

BSGAR is now a registered charity recognised for pre-eminence in education. Our responsibility as a charity is to deliver public benefit through the objects of our charity which are;

To relieve sickness, to protect and preserve the health of the public, and to advance education and research into the care of patients with abdominal disease by:
a.      Improving the practice and development of gastrointestinal and abdominal radiology
b.     The education and training of radiologists and other medical professionals in gastrointestinal and abdominal radiology
c.      Providing a forum for imaging, intervention and research ensuring the useful results of any research are disseminated to the public

There are practical advantages to our Society also, in terms of tax concessions, access to charitable funding and grants for our activities, the ability to employ support staff, and greater convenience and financial freedom in our banking and transactions.

There is still a lot of work to do as we transition from sole trader to charity. Our committee along with our new trustees will be steering this. The new trust board members will be well known to many of you:-

Chair, Dr Andrea Phillips, Bath
Professor Vicky Goh, London
Professor Stuart Taylor, London
Dr Andrew Lowe, Taunton
Dr Raneem Albazaz, Leeds
Dr Ian Zealley, Dundee, ex officio as BSGAR President
