Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a common emergency associated with a substantial mortality rate. The management bridges disciplines and involves intensivists, gastroenterologists, haematologists and surgeons. Anyone looking after inpatients needs to have a working understanding of how to manage the condition.
Target audience
This course is suitable for gastroenterologists, physicians and surgeons in other disciplines who are caring for patients who may develop an upper GI bleeding site, as well as nursing staff, endoscopy associates and medical students.
