...and that's a wrap!

On behalf of the Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand Hepatic, Pancreatic and Biliary Association (AANZHPBA), we would like to thank everyone for their presence and participation at the 2024 Meeting in Hobart on the 10th and 11th of October.

The theme for the meeting was “Distance and Diversity.” The program was designed to engage HPB surgeons, rural general surgeons, and trainees, addressing common practical problems while exploring how research and workforce development can be tailored to meet the needs of our unique environments. We had an exciting social and scientific program that provided valuable opportunities to network with industry colleagues. Your efforts and participation were instrumental in making the event a success, and we truly appreciate your contributions. Thank you!
