Great to have this published in @FrontGastro_BMJ. We aimed to find a way to safely manage upper GI bleeding whilst easing pressure on endoscopy services during #COVID19 & investigate why recent UGIB outcomes appear worse than in pre-pandemic times #GITwitter@AdrianStanleyGI
🔥🔥Hot off the press: USPSTF lowers CRC screening age to 45 (Grade B)
☄️21 million 45-49 year olds added to the screening pool
☄️Screening after age 75 should be individualized (Grade C)
☄️we need: Non invasive screening options and Organized screening
