The first Annual Meeting of the BRICS was held on the 9th of March 2017 in Birmingham. Since then, BRICS has grown to over 100 members in the UK and many affiliates overseas. The growth of the association reflects the importance of peer support available to its members through this platform.
BRICS is a platform nurtured by Colorectal surgeons but we aim to be inclusive and invite other specialties supporting Colorectal Surgeons comprising Gastroenterologists, oncologists, pathologists, GI radiologists and specialist nurses, and patient representatives for colorectal diseases.
The association is an excellent platform to reach out for support, mentorship, and guidance. We aim to launch support pathways for our international medical graduates to help them understand the NHS and provide support and guidance in career progression.
