For 2015 we had a call for abstracts and introduced a competition with a £500 prize for the best poster. The winning abstract, ‘Pre-Endoscopy point of care testing for coeliac disease in anaemia: a cost saving economic model’ was submitted by Dr Peter Mooney, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield. Dr Mooney used his prize money to attend the Digestive Disease Week, 2015, Washington, USA. The winning abstract, along with all those presented at the conference can be viewed within the delegates' brochure.
