Tillotts IBD Nurse Support Fund

Tillotts Pharma UK has allocated £10,000 to support IBD nurses who wish to attend the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) annual meeting, BSG LIVE’24 from 17-20 June 2024 in Birmingham.

BSG LIVE’24 provides opportunities to learn about the latest research in gastroenterology, hear from expert speakers and developments from industry, as well as the opportunity to network and share best practice with colleagues.

The fund is available to support those who would otherwise find it financially difficult to attend the meeting. Support will be available for registration, travel and/or accommodation if needed and applicants can apply for a maximum of £500 per person.
