Sadie--Good question. Click 'next', which will take you to the register page. I filled in my degree as 'patient', my speciality at 'k-pouch' and my company as hospital where treated. Then I was registered. The symposiums are open to patients. Dr. Shen welcomes input from patients, although I didn't feel comfortable with speaking during the Q&A as felt that was for the professionals.
Glad you are interested. Jan
