Cohort Studies & Audits

Multicentre snap-shot prospective audits have the power to bring together surgeons and units across multiple regions or countries for a common research goal, thus strengthening an active network of research participation across Europe and beyond. 

We are expanding ESCP's remit by encouraging perspective cohort studies and have set up a Cohort Studies Sub-Committee, co-ordinating annual snap-shot audits.

ESCP has been collaborating with JSCP on a reciprocal basis since 2008 and it is with pleasure that we will welcome a JSCP fellow to our Annual Meeting every year.

In return, ESCP again had the pleasure in announcing this excellent opportunity for an ESCP member to be awarded a JSCP fellowship, kindly initiated and organised by the International Committee of the Japan Society of Coloproctology.

Details

The fellowship will be in conjunction with the 80th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Coloproctology.

Location: Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba, Tokyo, Japan

Date: 14-15 November 2025

Duration of fellowship: 1-2 weeks (TBC)
