BAPEN is delighted to be collaborating with the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) to bring the 14th ESPEN Symposium to Edinburgh on 21st – 22nd May 2027.
Under the theme ‘Nourishing the Mind-Gut Connection,’ the two-day symposium will bring a multidisciplinary perspective to nutrition in behavioural eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, as well as avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI).
“One of BAPEN’s strengths is the breadth of expertise across our multidisciplinary community, so the opportunity to bring people together from different specialties and countries feels especially valuable. These are complex areas of care where sharing different perspectives, experience and evidence can make a real difference,” commented Dr Jane Fletcher, BAPEN President.
“I hope we’ll see a strong BAPEN presence in Edinburgh next May – it promises to be a fascinating two days of learning and connection.”
The programme will combine expert perspectives with interactive, case-based discussion, providing opportunities for multidisciplinary clinicians and researchers from different disciplines and countries to learn from one another and consider how evolving evidence can be translated into meaningful developments in care.
“Bringing this important international meeting to Scotland is an exciting opportunity to connect BAPEN members with colleagues from across Europe and beyond,” said Dr Francesca Moroni, BAPEN’s Scotland Representative.
“Hosting the symposium here gives us a fantastic opportunity to learn from international expertise, share experience from across our own nutrition community and strengthen the connections that can ultimately support better patient care.”
Further details about the programme are available on the 14th ESPEN Symposium website, with registration due to open soon.
