PAN-CARE 2026 — The Pancreatic Nursing Forum
“Empowering Nurses in Pancreatology”
As part of the 58th Joint Meeting of the European Pancreatic Club (EPC) and the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP), PAN-CARE 2026 – The Pancreatic Nursing Forum will bring together gastroenterology, oncology, and surgical clinicians and researchers dedicated to excellence in pancreatic care. This advanced multidisciplinary program will emphasize the essential contribution of nursing in the perioperative management, patient education, and long-term support of individuals with pancreatic diseases.
A key feature of this year’s forum will be an innovative simulation-based workshop, offering participants a hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies and interactive learning tools designed to enhance clinical skills and decision-making in pancreatic nursing practice.
Through interactive sessions, case discussions, and evidence-based presentations, PAN-CARE 2026 aims to foster innovation, collaboration, and compassion in the evolving field of pancreatic nursing practice.
