Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

Frontiers in Colorectal and Intestinal Disease 2026 is the 24th annual St Mark's congress for clinicians working across colorectal surgery, gastroenterology, endoscopy, oncology, radiology, nursing, nutrition and allied disciplines. The 2026 theme is colorectal disease at the crossroads: learning from the past to create a better future. Day 1 is built around limited-place masterclasses at St Mark's Hospital, including IBD medical, IBD surgery, complex colorectal cancer, abdominal wall surgery and endometriosis surgery. Days 2 and 3 move to the Royal College of Surgeons for symposia covering stage IV colon cancer, intestinal failure, severe ulcerative colitis, hereditary cancer, proctology practice, faecal incontinence, Crohn's disease and advanced colorectal cancer. The page names Chris Lamb, Alberto Arezzo and Trevor Graham as major invited lecturers and says the John Nicholls Prize will recognise the best new research, but it does not publish an abstract submission route or deadline. Registration is open through Eventbrite, with hybrid/on-demand access: in-person consultant rates rise from GBP250 to GBP300 from 1 October, trainee/nurse/AHP rates from GBP190 to GBP240, one-day rates from GBP175/GBP100 to GBP225/GBP150, masterclasses cost GBP200 and online/on-demand access is GBP50. Eventbrite shows ticket availability ending on 18 November 2026.
