Every November, Kranky Panky puts pancreatitis in the spotlight, sharing real stories from people in our community.
This year, we’re also hosting ‘Getting to Grips with Pancreatitis’ – a free webinar exploring both acute and chronic pancreatitis.
Join us on Tuesday 10 November from 5.30pm to 7pm, to hear from healthcare professionals and people with lived experience.
We’ll explore acute and chronic pancreatitis, including the causes, symptoms, and what treatment and long-term management can involve.
There will also be a live Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask questions to our expert panel.
Whether you’re living with pancreatitis, supporting someone with the condition, or simply want to learn more, this webinar is an opportunity to hear from experts and people with lived experience, and get your questions answered.
The webinar is free to attend and takes place online via Zoom. But be quick – spaces are limited!
