Join the PCSG

We are the voice of primary care gastroenterology, a voice that is listened to by those who make decisions which affect primary care. As you all know, gastroenterology accounts for large numbers of consultations in primary care and the knock on effects in terms of drug prescribing are highly significant. Whether it is in terms of commissioning or clinical governance, we cannot leave decisions to be made without a primary care input. The PCSG is well placed to provide that advice not only through the committee members but also amongst our highly experienced membership.

 Since our launch in 1985, the Society has forged strong links with several organisations both nationally and internationally. Bodies such as the British Society of Gastroenterology, the Royal College of Physicians NICE, and the RCGP all consult us regularly on gastroenterological subjects so that policies and guidelines can be influenced by primary care.

We are also representing those of you who endoscope, both in a primary care setting and in secondary care, on JAG and we are also developing processes of our own when it comes to revalidation and accreditation. In this way, we can make the process less secondary care led and relevant for our members. Amongst our committee members and our Society, we are well placed to offer advice to our members both involved and planning to be involved in primary care endoscopy.

It is important that all members have a voice in the Society and we have established a website forum for discussion on various topics. The feedback from our members is essential for the health of the Society and we are sure you will want to take part.
