5th Liver Transplant School

5th Liver Transplant School is organized by European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) and will be held from Sep 25 - 28, 2024 at Brussels, Brussels, Belgium.

Description:
Knowledge and interest for pediatric liver transplant has grown significantly over the last years. The liver transplant school will share with participants cutting-edge expertise on diagnosis and management of liver disorders in children. Highlights on ongoing clinical/fundamental/ translational research will also be part of the conference.

The ESPGHAN Paediatric Hepatology Committee will organize the 5th Paediatric Liver Transplantation School in Brussels in September 2024. The ESPGHAN Liver Transplant School is success story. The last schools were visited very well and evaluation by attendees was always very good.

The Faculty of the Liver Transplant School 2024 aims to provide many interactive sessions and case discussion on the selection process and ethical considerations (indication, contra-indications) as well as on aspects related to living donation, type of surgeries, medical and surgical complications and the long-term care of these patients.

This meeting should not only attract younger gastroenterologists and heptologists who have an ambition to develop transplantation programs locally, but also more senior established clinicians who would like to get a state-of-the-art update in an informal setting.

Therefore, we will circulate surveys among the attendees for different transplant care aspects (e.g. vaccination, immunosuppressive protocols) weeks before the school to learn during the school by discussing differences and similarities of the results.

Participants will also gather together in small groups aiming to stimulate discussions among participants. Contact between themselves and with renowned pediatric transplantation medicine specialists will be encouraged also.

Additional details will be posted as soon the information is available.
