Shaping the future of digestive health in Europe and beyond.
(1)

Founded in 1992 United European Gastroenterology (UEG) is the leading non-profit organisation for excellence in digestive health in Europe and beyond with its headquarters in Vienna. We improve the prevention and care of digestive diseases in Europe through providing top tier education, supporting research and advancing clinical standards. As Europe’s home and umbrella for multidisciplinary gastroenterology, we unite over 50,000 engaged professionals from national and specialist societies, individual digestive health experts and related scientists from all fields and career stages. The myUEG Community enables digestive health professionals from across the globe to become myUEG Associates and thereby connect, network and benefit from a wide range of free resources and educational activities. Our offers include our annual congress UEG Week, online and face-to-face educational experiences, research support, a scientific journal and a range of opportunities in the form of fellowships and grants. We provide numerous guidelines, standards and quality improvement initiatives and campaign at the European level to ensure continued resources for research into digestive health while working closely with patient organisations.

With great sorrow, we have received the news of the passing of Erik Schrumpf, a distinguished hepatologist and longstanding contributor to the European digestive health community.

He graduated from the University of Oslo in 1967, and with the exception of a short period at Haukeland Hospital, he spent his entire clinical and academic career at the Oslo University Hospital, where he became Head of the Department of Gastroenterology in 1984, coinciding with the first liver transplantation in Norway – a clinical programme that he was instrumental in establishing and that also served as an inspiration for his research, given the importance of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) as an indication for liver transplantation in Norway. In 1997, he was appointed full Professor of Hepatology, continuing his efforts to advance Norwegian and European hepatology.

He served as an international cornerstone for research and management of PSC, with a career spanning more than 50 years - from the trial lecture of his PhD defence in 1974 via the publishing of one of the three seminal articles in 1980 from Oslo, Oxford and Rochester which defined PSC as a disease entity, to a lifetime of research that led to the establishment of the Norwegian PSC research center in 2007, a powerhouse for PSC research in which he stayed deeply involved even after his retirement in 2012 until the day of his passing.

Erik also played an important role in UEG's history. In 1994, he served as President of the third UEG Week in Oslo, a meeting that, although smaller in scale than today's congresses, was remembered for its high scientific quality and success. He subsequently served on UEG’s Scientific Committee in the late 1990s and as UEG Treasurer from 2012 – 2015, contributing to the organisation's development as a member of both the UEG Executive Committee and UEG Council.

We remember Erik with gratitude not only for his outstanding merits to digestive health, but also for his calm, gentle and concise manner, which earned him international friendships. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Most diagnostic delays in dysphagia come down to clinical reasoning, not the tests available.

In 🆕 ‘Mistakes in…’ article, Jawad Hindy, Edoardo Savarino and Amir Mari walk through nine common pitfalls and how to avoid them, from skipping a structured history to treating achalasia without first excluding pseudoachalasia.

One to remember: a normal-looking oesophagus does not rule out eosinophilic oesophagitis.

What happens to patients and clinicians when a ‘minor’ operation goes wrong? 🎙️

In this ‘Best of UEG Week 2026’ episode, Mary Phillips, a pancreatic dietitian and advanced clinical practitioner, is joined by Deepa Gandhi, President of E S G E N A., to look back at Barcelona from a nursing and allied health perspective.

From the second victim phenomenon and bile duct injury after laparoscopic cholecystectomy to nurse-led endoscopy research, life after acute pancreatitis and a tricky refeeding syndrome case, they cover a lot of ground. And one question keeps coming back: how do we train, support and retain specialist nurses?

Could bias be shaping your decisions without you realising? 🤔

Unconscious bias affects how we think, communicate and act, often without us noticing. In digestive health, it can influence clinical decisions, teamwork and how we connect with patients.

Our 5-minute survey uses everyday scenarios to help you spot where bias might show up in your own practice. 🩺
