November 20-26th is Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD) Awareness Week.

Many people experience acid reflux from time to time. However, when acid reflux happens repeatedly, it can cause GORD. Constant backwash of stomach acid can cause the lining of the oesophagus to change to Barrett’s Oesophagus – which is a precursor to oesophageal cancer.

And that’s a wrap! What a great week at the RACS ASC 2022 in Brisbane

It was an honour to convene the Upper GI section of the conference. We had great presentations from ANZ and international guests.

Highlight of the week was definitely the Upper GI / Bariatric dinner at where it was great to catch up with interstate friends and colleagues in person for the first time since the pandemic.

Looking forward to next year’s ASC in Adelaide!
