In [1], the text in section ‘Other council representation, Patient Liaison Group’ was wrong. The correct text is as follows:
During the early years of the Association, there was minimal patient involvement in the production of policy documents. Lynn Faulds Wood was consulted on numerous occasions during the late 1990s and her role in promoting bowel cancer awareness, coordinated through the Public Relations Committee, was invaluable. However, as part of strategy reorganisation after the conviction of Harold Shipman, the Royal College of Surgeons of England, keen to support the various specialty associations, established a Patient Liaison Group. Jo Church's role was important and influential. She was recruited by John Northover during his presidential year from 2007 and introduced to the ACPGBI Executive for the first time in February 2008. Over the next 10 years she established and formalised a Patient Liaison Group within the Association, which she chaired over the course of 11 presidents until her retirement in 2018 when Jim Hill was President.
