Hi Folks,

I just wanted to help advertise the Birmingham Upper GI Support Group on behalf of the patients who run the group. It is affiliated with the OPA. They have set up a new website with details of the meetings held at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and contact numbers etc etc. Dates of the meetings for 2017 are on the website.

go to either

qecancer.org or

qehb.org/oesophageal-and-ga...

Sandwell and Walsall also have a similar group

ugiuppergiblues.org

All the best

Ewen Griffiths
