The BSG co-owns three <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.bsg.org.uk/members-area/journals/" href="/journals" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">journals</a>. <em>Gut</em> is Europe's highest-ranked gastroenterology journal, by citation-related impact factor, and the Society's oldest title. <em>Frontline Gastroenterology</em> focuses on clinical aspects of gastroenterology. The newest addition to the portfolio is the open-access journal <em>Open Gastroenterology</em>. The Society regularly produces guidelines on aspects of contemporary practice. While the Society exists for the promotion of the discipline it is not itself able to provide medical advice or to recommend individual practitioners.

Sir Arthur Hurst became the first President. At that time, its objectives were described as the advancement of gastroenterology and promotion of friendship amongst those who have special interest in the disorders of the alimentary tract. In 1938, T L Hardy was elected Secretary and it is to him that a greater part of the success of the club is due. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-slide" role="group" aria-label="4 / 4" style="width: 543px; margin-right: 30px;"> <div class="card card-history border-0 h-100"> <span class="card-timeline mb-4"></span> <figure class="card-figure mb-0"> <div class="image-container"> <img src="/getmedia/131b2957-4e56-418d-8b54-e548673de66e/BSg-logo.png?width=2067&height=1627&ext=.png" class="card-img-top rounded-4" alt="BSg-logo.png"> </div> </figure> <div class="card-body px-0"> <span class="badge rounded-pill text-bg-primary fs-normal mb-3">1949</span> <p class="card-text"> The organisation grew steadily and 2 years later it numbered 100 members. In 1949, it was renamed the British Society of Gastroenterology. From the beginning, it was involved with other international societies, but it wasn't until 1952 after the Second World War that the proposed international meeting among these societies became a reality. In 1956, it acted as host at the fifth meeting of the Association of the National European and Mediterranean Societies of Gastro-Enterology, which was attended by over 800 visitors and delegates from around the world. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-slide" role="group" aria-label="4 / 4" style="width: 543px; margin-right: 30px;"> <div class="card card-history border-0 h-100"> <span class="card-timeline mb-4"></span> <figure class="card-figure mb-0"> <div class="image-container"> <img src="/getmedia/7b6dd714-f07c-4e04-a3e0-acab2cfdad16/gut.png?width=2062&height=1622&ext=.png" class="card-img-top rounded-4" alt="gut.png"> </div> </figure> <div class="card-body px-0"> <span class="badge rounded-pill text-bg-primary fs-normal mb-3">1960</span> <p class="card-text"> In 1948, a proposal was put forward to establish a British Journal of Gastroenterology which published medical papers, but it wasn't until 1960 that this became a reality with the first publication of the Journal 'Gut'. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-slide" role="group" aria-label="4 / 4" style="width: 543px; margin-right: 30px;"> <div class="card card-history border-0 h-100"> <span class="card-timeline mb-4"></span> <figure class="card-figure mb-0"> <div class="image-container"> <img src="/getmedia/131b2957-4e56-418d-8b54-e548673de66e/BSg-logo.png?width=2067&height=1627&ext=.png" class="card-img-top rounded-4" alt="BSg-logo.png"> </div> </figure> <div class="card-body px-0"> <span class="badge rounded-pill text-bg-primary fs-normal mb-3">1972</span> <p class="card-text"> The first meeting of the British Society for Digestive Endoscopy was held in 1972 following the Spring Meeting of the BSG. Over 100 members of the BSDE and BSG attended. Both societies maintained strong links, and during the 1980s, the British Society for Digestive Endoscopy was incorporated into the BSG. The incorporation of the BSDE also accelerated the growth of the BSG into a wider membership as there were nurses, radiographers, technicians and others involved in the practice of clinical endoscopy.

It had strong links with the BSG, with representation on the BSG Council, and organised symposia at the Annual Meeting. In 2011, constitutional reform in the BSG formalised the formation of the BSG Trainees Section, along with Trainee representation on all committees. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <span
