The E-AHPBA is the prime interdisciplinary organisation for HPB-surgical science and scholarship in our region and provides an international forum for presenting the state-of-the-art developments and science of HPB-surgery.
This is achieved through conducting a biennial congress (alternating with the IHPBA World Congress), the location rotates around the region. Chapters who are considering bidding to host a future Congress should contact the Management Company for details of the bid guidelines. For more information on the next congress please visit here.
In addition to the Congress the association holds a variety of annual meetings, courses, consensus conferences and workshops aimed to support all members at all levels of career development. The E-AHPBA also supports educational and scientific activities from its members and strategic partners where deemed appropriate. For more information regarding these activities please visit E-AHPBA Platinum Seal Activities, E-AHPBA Gold Seal Activities, E-AHPBA Silver Seal Activities and E-AHPBA Blue Seal Activities.
Endorsement of Blue or Silver Seal activities is achieved by submitting an application, and your proposed programme, to our Education Committee. They will review the this and determine if the content is of interest and benefit to the E-AHPBA Members. Successful activities will be awarded the seal and have use of our endorsement logos, be able to issue one mailing to our members and issue one message on our Twitter page. The activity will also be listed on the events pages and calendar.
Together with IHPBA, E-AHPBA also provides support and development within the outreach programme available to all low-income countries within our region.
