This month the Nerva team is hitting the road for four key events that belong in every gut-health professional's calendar for May 2024. Find out where we'll be, which events Nerva co-creator Dr. Simone Peters is presenting at, and how to join in through online access.
To supercharge your confidence in the gut-health space and ensure you’re up to speed on the latest developments in DGBI management, this month we’re digging out the neck pillows and donning our compression socks to jet from Melbourne to Milan, followed by Washington DC and down to Sydney – and you’re invited along for the ride.
Our May calendar is packed with 4 x conferences and events, with 2 offering virtual attendance options. Nerva co-creator and IBS expert Dr. Simone Peters is joining us to present in person at 3 of the conferences.
