Not long ago, I had the privilege of attending the 57th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) — and I left feeling both inspired and motivated for the future of our field.
Over the 4 days, I immersed myself in sessions that highlighted workshops, ground breaking research, clinical insights, and practical approaches. From exploring the latest advances in children nutrition and gut health, to engaging in thoughtful discussions on complex cases, I was reminded of how quickly our knowledge evolves and how important it is to keep learning.
Some of the topics that stood out to me included:
🌱 The role of the gut microbiota in obesity
🥄 Dysphagia and management strategies
👶 Challenges and enablers for difficult feeders
🎗️ Tube-weaning approaches and outcomes
🔬 Advances in IBD and IBS management
🧩 Feeding difficulties in children with autism spectrum disorder and Down syndrome
🤖 And a particularly hot topic: the ethical dilemmas of artificial intelligence in healthcare
One of the most impactful parts of the congress for me was the opportunity to connect with colleagues from across the globe. These conversations often happen in the coffee breaks, in the corridors, or after a lecture — and they spark new ideas, collaborations, and fresh perspectives that you simply can’t get from reading articles alone.
I was proud to have earned 25 Continuing Education Credits during this exceptional meeting, but more than that, I walked away with renewed energy and commitment to integrating this knowledge into my practice and current projects.
A heartfelt thank you to ESPGHAN for hosting such a high-quality scientific congress, and to all the brilliant minds who shared their expertise and contributed to shaping the future of paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition.
✨ I’m excited to bring these insights back to my work, my patients, and my community — because ultimately, that’s where this knowledge makes the biggest difference.
