Dear colleagues,

 On behalf of the GEDII board, it is a pleasure to invite you to participate in the GEDII annual meeting that will take place on April 7-8^th in Cascais.

Honoring our history, we are expecting another great meeting where we will discuss the recent advances in the IBD field.  Themes like epidemiology, approach to therapy in special populations, infections and immunosuppression, other colitis beyond IBD, pouchitis, and strategies to avoid treatment failure will be discussed. For that, we are happy  to welcome international IBD experts, researchers, and clinicians, that will certainly enrich our knowledge on the different topics. 

We invite all researchers and clinicians in the IBD field in Portugal to submit their work and share it with their colleagues. The GEDII meeting is a unique opportunity to learn, discuss, and share the science behind IBD clinical practice.

Undoubtedly, a multidisciplinary approach in clinical practice is fundamental to achieving the best possible care and outcomes in IBD. Simultaneous to the meeting, on the 8^th of April, also the IBD nurse course will take place.

Preceding our meeting, on the 6^th of April, ECCO will organize their 68^th educational workshop, during which colleagues from ECCO and Portugal will present and discuss clinical cases based on the ECCO guidelines.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Cascais,

Warm regards,

Paula Ministro
