Dear Colleagues,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural Oesophageal Neoplasia Masterclass 2016 Live Endoscopy Course at University College Hospital. It also gives me great pleasure to welcome our esteemed international and national faculty members and thank them for taking the time to come to this course. For some it is their fi rst time at UCLH, for most they are returning after previous visits and it is great to welcome old friends back.

With the ever increasing annual repertoire of live endoscopy courses, the vision behind the ONM programme is to bring in under one umbrella all the key innovative and state of the art developments involved in the diagnosis and management of Oesophageal Neoplasia.

I hope that during the course of today through a combination of lectures, compelling debates and live demonstrations we will be able to share with you some of these developments.

As always a huge amount of work goes into organizing and coordinating events such as this and with that in mind I would like to thank my colleagues at UCLH and all the team that have been involved in, no doubt, making today a tremendous success. I hope you enjoy the course.

Stefan Seewald obtained his medical degree at the University of Halle/Saale, Germany in 1991. He qualifi ed as a specialist and lecturer for internal medicine at the University of Bonn from 1991 to 1999. At this time his research work was focused on intracellular signalling pathways.

In 1999 he started his training in gastroenterology and interventional endoscopy at the Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf under the leadership of Prof. Nib Soehendra. He became board certifi ed gastroenterologist, specialist in interventional endoscopy, stuff member, professor of medicine and member of the gastroenterologist credentialing board. He extended his skills in ESD at the National Cancer Center in Tokyo and in POEM at Showa University in Yokohama, Japan.

His main focus of research has been on endoscopic techniques for the resection of early gastrointestinal malignancies, pancreatic fl uid collections, biliopancreatic fi stula, treatment of varices and achalasia.

In 2008 Stefan Seewald became partner of the Center for Gastroenterology at the Hirslanden Clinic in Zurich, Switzerland, one of the major leading center for interventional endoscopy in Switzerland. He is course director and organizer of “EndoSwiss-2017 Live” an international meeting on therapeutic endoscopy taking place every two years.

Stefan Seewald is International Editorial Board Member for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (GIE) and Video Journal & Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy (VJGIEN). He has authored and co-

During his training in internal medicine he followed the doctoral program at the doctoral school of KU Leuven and obtained a PhD in 2005 after defending his thesis in basic gastrointestinal physiology entitled “Ligand and electrically induced activation patterns in myenteric neuronal networks. Confocal calcium imaging as a bridge between basic and human physiology”. Since 2005, he has been working as a staff member at the department of gastroenterology and was appointed associate head of clinic in 2006 and associate professor in 2007 at the KU Leuven, faculty of medicine. In October 2013 he became head of endoscopy, which serves as a multidisciplinary activity center hosting services for the departments for gastroenterology, hepatology, pneumology and pediatrics, with a yearly performance of over 30.000 endoscopic procedures.

His main focus of research lies currently in advanced endoscopic imaging (NBI, BLI, I-scan, CLE) and therapeutics, with a main interest in premalignant conditions such as Barrett’s esophagus, HNPCC, ulcerative colitis. After participating in a training program organized by prof Bergman in Amsterdam, Raf Bisschops has deployed one of the major recruiting centers in Belgium for endoluminal treatment of Barrett’s neoplasia. He is also actively involved in the motility clinic with a special interest in the link between gastrointestinal motility and endoscopy, hence his interest in peroral endoscopic myotomy.

colonoscopy, ERCP, and EUS, with an aim of demonstrating, discussing, and debating not only ‘how to do it’, but ‘when to do it’. We all wish to deliver endoscopic excellence, and in addition to addressing all areas of usual clinical practice, we will also introduce important new techniques and technological innovations. As well as 3 live endoscopy rooms running in parallel we will deliver “what’s new in..” technical updates, ‘tricks and tips’ breakout sessions, and a delegate hands-on suite of endoscopic models and simulators. We will be joined by an outstanding national and international expert faculty, including Professors Guido Costamanga, Allessandro Repici, Prateek Sharma, and Helmunt Neumann.

As previously, the course is tailored to appeal to consultants, trainees, and endoscopy nurses. We expect it to be fun, informal, and challenging. And dinner in the Houses of Parliament should be a particular highlight!
