WELCOME

Welcome to the PCSG website. It has been developed to promote the society and facilitate networking for general practitioners and others interested in all clinical, research and educational aspects of gastroenterological disorders and in particular their management in primary care. It offers an online medical information resource and although it is primarily designed for use by health professionals, some areas may be of use to the general public (eg links to patient information leaflets).
