About

An understanding of the presentation of acute pancreatitis, the initial management steps, and the potential complex outcomes is vital for any junior doctor. Additionally, communication with the patient and his/her family is particularly important, as well as the consolidation of an appropriate escalation plan. This talk aims to build the confidence of senior medical students and Foundation Year 1 Doctors, helping them to be better prepared if they encounter this condition in an emergency or surgical ward setting.

Suitable for:

  • Medical Students (clinical years))
  • Foundation Year 1 Doctors

Speaker:

Mr Nigel Jamieson
Consultant HPB Surgeon
Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Glasgow

Mr Nigel Jamieson is a Consultant HPB Surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Glasgow and a Clinical Senior Lecturer within the Institute of Cancer Sciences, University of Glasgow.

He was awarded a Clinician Scientist Fellowship by Cancer Research UK, as well as a Lord Kelvin and Adam Smith Leadership Fellowship from the University of Glasgow.

Mr Jamieson has contributed to over 100 peer reviewed publications and, with an active role in the development and management of the Precision-Panc platform, his Laboratory Research Group’s focus is on the interaction between the immune microenvironment and chemotherapy in the tumours of patients with pancreatic cancer, as well as spatial transcriptomic characterisation of HPB malignancies and premalignant lesions.
