The annual Scientific Meeting of the Pancreas
Society of Great Britain & Ireland and the UK & Ireland Endoscopic
Ultrasound Society has chosen Leeds as its host city more times than any other destination.
Now in its 47th year, the event is set to
welcome 250 delegates at the Hilton Leeds City Hotel from 30 November to 2
December 2022.
Designed to provide the latest updates to
doctors, nurses, and dieticians involved in providing care for patients with
pancreatic diseases. The event allows those caring for pancreatic patients to
exchange ideas and share the latest research and technological advances.
Alongside research developments and ideas
exchange, the conference will host content sessions on how the Society intends
to shape and redesign pancreatic services across the UK, advanced endoscopic
interventions in pancreatic disease, how to deliver enhanced care across the UK
for patients with pancreatic cancer, and training for the next generation of
pancreatic surgeons.
In addition to the plenary sessions, the Lord
Smith Medal for the best original pancreatic research will be presented, and
also delegates will see live endoscopy from St James’s University
Hospital.
Pancreas Society of Great Britain and Ireland
president, Andrew Smith, said: “We’re extremely excited to be returning to
Leeds for the fifth time for our event in November this year. Leeds is a
first-class city for health innovation and is home to one of the Leeds Teaching
Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest teaching hospitals in Europe, which
is where I practice as a consultant pancreatic surgeon. The Conference Leeds
team have been invaluable in helping us organise our event and we’re sure our
delegates will leave the city with a positive lasting impression.”
Conference Leeds head, Claire Heap said: “We
are thrilled to be welcoming the Pancreas Society of Great Britain &
Ireland and the UK & Ireland Endoscopic Ultrasound Society to Leeds for
their fifth time in Leeds. The meeting was last held in Leeds in 2012 and since
then we have [updates to the city since then]. Leeds is a destination that
continually delivers exceptional conference experiences and we are looking
forward to making sure that the 2022 Annual Scientific Meeting is one of their
best ones yet!”
