On the final day of the ESCP conference it was a packed programme with sessions covering everything from coloproctology around the globe to controversies in Crohns' disease. Delegates heard brilliant keynotes from Soren Laurberg on LARS and from Harry Sokol on faecal transplantation for UC. There was a lively symposium on management of T2 rectal cancer chaired by Simon Bach and Eric Rullier, and for the first time at an ESCP meeting we had a patient involvement session looking at how best to involve patients in colorectal research.
