Thank you for listening to this podcast, where Frontline Gastroenterology Trainee Editor Dr Philip Smith talks to Dr David Patch, Consultant Herpetologist and Transplant Physician at the Royal Free Hospital, London.

The podcast is an accompaniment to the Frontline Gastroenterology Twitter Debate (#FGDebate) held on Tuesday 24th November 2015, at 8-9pm GMT entitled, 'Frontline Hepatology: Variceal Bleeding Guidelines' with Dr Patch and Dr Dhiraj Tripathi, Consultant Hepatologist and Transplant Physician.

The purpose of the podcast is to 'fill any gaps' the #FGDebate may have left. Dr Dhiraj Tripathi has provided the slides used in the #FGDebate to help those interested in the topics covered. We hope you enjoy this and that it is informative.
