About this clinical collection

Gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary disorders account for a significant proportion of presentations across primary care, emergency medicine, paediatrics, and specialist practice. Advances in diagnostic techniques, medical therapies, and multidisciplinary care continue to improve patient outcomes, making it essential for healthcare professionals to remain current with best practice. This clinical collection provides an evidence-based overview of common and complex gastrointestinal conditions encountered in everyday clinical practice.

Across four accredited CPD modules, you will explore the diagnosis and management of Crohn’s disease, review the evolving treatment options available for inflammatory bowel disease, develop confidence in recognising and managing infant gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), and understand the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic encephalopathy. Together, these modules provide practical knowledge that can be directly applied to patient care across a variety of healthcare settings.

By completing this collection, you will be able to:

• Recognise the clinical presentation and diagnostic pathways for Crohn’s disease.
• Apply evidence-based management strategies for inflammatory bowel disease across the spectrum of disease severity.
• Differentiate physiological infant reflux from gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and implement appropriate management.
• Identify, diagnose, and manage hepatic encephalopathy using current clinical guidelines.
• Improve clinical decision-making for patients presenting with common gastrointestinal and hepatology conditions.

This collection comprises 4 CPD modules, providing 8 hours of accredited learning and 8 CPD credits, making it an excellent learning pathway for doctors wishing to strengthen their knowledge and confidence in modern gastroenterology and hepatology practice.
