Membership Categories

The society has the following classes of membership:

• Individual Membership

  Persons practising, managing, teaching or researching in gastroenterology and endoscopy nursing. Individual members have no right to vote, to prevent undue dominance of countries with a large number of individual members. Individual members have the right to stand for office if they are based in a European country (see definitions).
