BAPEN Conference
BAPEN at DDF Why you simply must go!
Sunday 17th June – Wednesday 20th June 2012 Arena Convention Centre (ACC), Liverpool
PETE TURNER Chair of BAPEN
Programmes Committee
The Digestive Disorders Federation (DDF) Conference will feature no less than four days of the very latest in clinical nutrition in the main BAPEN symposia and those organised with the other DDF partners – the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG), the Association of Upper GI Surgeons (AUGIS) and the British Association for the Study of the Liver (BASL). Starting on Sunday 17th June with the BAPEN Medical study day and finishing on Wednesday 20th with a joint BAPEN BSG symposium on dietary fibre, the conference represents fantastic value at only £55 per day for BAPEN Members (rate for BAPEN Nurses and AHPs who register for the event between 01/03/2012 – 14/06/2012). All this and the opportunity to explore the vibrant and historic city of Liverpool!
Sunday 17th is the DDF postgraduate day and the nutrition highlights will be the BAPEN Medical study day and a debate featuring the current and former BAPEN Chairs. The BAPEN Medical study day will be an all- encompassing look at nutrition in liver disease with UK experts covering subjects from nutritional assessment, micronutrients and macronutrients, in and outpatient hepatic disease, peri-liver transplant to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) – including a debate on surgical versus medical management of this condition. The main DDF teaching session will also feature a key debate with Dr Mike Stroud taking on Dr Tim Bowling on parenteral versus enteral nutrition in the critically ill. Hopefully Mike will be convincing us that we don’t need to worry about Greet Van den Berghe’s latest theory that TPN is very bad because it interferes with apoptosis.
Monday 18th June will be the start of the main BAPEN Conference, with the morning giving us an update of BAPEN news from Dr Tim Bowling and other key figures, some examples of good practice and an unmissable Pennington Lecture from Professor Marinos Elia – with the evocative title of ‘Money Matters’.
The afternoon sessions are an absolute must for anyone involved in artificial nutritional support. In ‘Doing it Safely – Enteral Nutrition’, Dr Sheldon Cooper will give us a case-based session to answer all those difficult questions on the finer points of managing refeeding syndrome. Delegates will then learn how to deal with anything that can go wrong with a PEG from major problems such as pain, bleeds and buried bumpers to minor ones like soreness, granulomas and those common and irritating blockages.
