Join us - The benefits of AUGIS membership
The Association has evolved for those with an interest in upper gastrointestinal surgery and is therefore best placed to develop clinical services, pursue education and training and encourage research. The development of sub-specialisation is rapidly evolving and clinical service developments at national and local level require the type of national perspective provided by AUGIS.
Education
The annual parallel session at the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland Meeting and the Annual Scientific Meeting of AUGIS provides excellent opportunities for education for trainee and trained surgeons. Trainees have access to a dedicated website, AUGISt - www.augist.org
The developments in higher surgical training demand appropriate national guidance for those running training schemes at local level and AUGIS Council representatives are able to advise regional training committees appropriately.
Research
The Annual Meetings provide excellent fora for the presentation of basic and applied research in upper gastrointestinal surgical disease.
Representation
AUGIS is part of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland and is represented on Council of ASGBI and on the Specialties Board. There is also representation on the Council of the British Society of Gastroenterology to ensure multi-disciplinary discussions. AUGIS also has representation on JAG, ACP, BASO, BSG and GI Physiology.
