Barrett’s Support Group London is for people with Barrett's Oesophagus and their friends and family. We hope to meet three times a year. Each meeting will feature a talk from a specialist about an aspect of Barrett's Oesophagus followed by a question and answer session. We hope these meetings will help you keep abreast of current research and practice. Light refreshments will be provided.
As someone who has Barrett's Oesophagus I know that I am looking forward to learning more about my condition from the Barrett's Support Group meetings and also sharing experiences and information with other members of the group.
Hope to see you there,
Best wishes,
Dino Mahoney, Barrett’s Support Group London member.
