Meet the ERS Live Endoscopy Team.
The four sessions will feature numerous endoscopic procedures transmitted live from the Academic Medical Center (AMC) Amsterdam site and the University Medical Center (UMCG) Groningen site. The sessions will introduce participants to a range of techniques and applications and provide an in-depth analysis of this essential intervention.
This will give delegates the opportunity to witness procedures being conducted by expert clinicians and take part in question and answer sessions following the live demonstrations. The sessions present fascinating opportunities for clinicians to learn more about this range of endoscopic techniques and discuss their applications and effectiveness.
