A huge thank you to all the speakers, delegates, virtual and in person as well as the fantastic support from industry sponsors and to Claire and her team for the hugely successful Gastro2020 NZSG ASM.

@gbsaff @stevenbollipo @DrReddyGI @GastroNz @DavisonCaro5 Get in touch George. I’m from Falkirk (whose team occasionally comes good despite the auld firm) and have been in NZ for 26 years. Loving it. [email protected]

@stevenbollipo And as you say Steven, a 14 day rest before you start might be blissful!!

[Arnold Malcolm @ArnoldMalcolm2]

@stevenbollipo @gbsaff @DrReddyGI @GastroNz @DavisonCaro5 Would need to quarantine for 14 days before starting work so would need to be for quite some time to justify it. I can put out feelers. It’s a great country with wonderful people. M

@stevenbollipo @gbsaff @DrReddyGI @GastroNz @DavisonCaro5 Yes indeed Steven. Drop me an email and I’ll send you some details. We have several vacancies in various locations. Anyone else too! Hope you’re all good.

The Southern Alps, West Coast NZ. On our way to visit the Grey Base Hospital endoscopy unit for NEQIP. It’s a hard job but someone has to do it!

We will of course take Ministry advice on board as the situation evolves.

The NZSG position statement on endoscopy in the COVID-19 era. We are not yet at the point of COVID testing because of our immensely low community transmission numbers/risk but are pre-assessing endoscopy patients re temp, symptoms, recent travel etc. https://t.co/RKFDxT4bDC

3 things that helped with isolation/boredom 1. Rediscovering reading fiction. 2. A great group of colleagues. 3. Efforts to keep colleagues in NZ via NZSG safe and informed.
