The 58th ECCO Educational Workshop on paediatric IBD, held on September 28, 2018 was jointly organised by Belgium and the Netherlands and took place in Antwerp, Belgium. The ECCO Faculty, comprising Patrick van Rheenen and Lissy de Ridder from the Netherlands and John Mansfield from Newcastle, United Kingdom, joined the local faculty consisting of Isabelle Scheers, Nicolette Moes and Els Van de Vijver. Lindley Fritze from the ECCO Office provided efficient and smooth organisation of the meeting on the spot.
The ECCO Workshop was very well attended, with participants from different backgrounds, from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Belgium.
The programme of the workshop was based on paediatric clinical cases illustrated by a set of ECCO Statements that were relevant to the local IBD experience. The way in which the cases were presented stimulated active participation by the audience.
