About Us

The Australasian Pancreatic Club is an organisation for clinicians and clinical and basic science researchers interested in diseases of the pancreas focussing on its exocrine function with increasing involvement in neuroendocrine disease and diabetes of the exocrine pancreas. We aim to encourage both clinical and basic science research furthering our knowledge of and facilitating the core objective of improving the effective diagnosis and management of diseases of the pancreas. 

The APC supports close collaboration between researchers and clinicians to optimise the applicability of benchtop research to our patients. Furthermore, the APC plays an important role in advancing our understanding of the pancreas by holding an annual scientific meeting providing the opportunity for cutting edge research to be presented as well as a biennial meeting incorporating a multidisciplinary clinical pancreatology curriculum aimed at informing both emerging and established clinicians involved in the care of patients with pancreatic disease with the latest advances. This meeting incorporates information from the perspectives of gastroenterologists, pancreatologists, pancreaticobiliary surgeons, endoscopists, endocrinologists, radiologists, oncologist as well as nurses and dietitians. 

We are delighted to be part of the family of organisations associated with the International Association of Pancreatology by offering dual membership of both the APC and IAP, thereby enabling members the benefits of belonging to both organisations as well as access to Pancreatology, the official journal of the IAP.
