Celebrating Your Contributions
In Pursuit of the best possible outcomes for all upper GI and HPB Disease
Every breakthrough begins with a patient, a question, and the generosity of people who believe in better outcomes.
Last year, your support helped drive 13 active research projects dedicated to improving how we diagnose, treat, and care for people facing complex gastrointestinal and cancer conditions. These projects are not just studies - they represent hope for safer surgery, faster recovery, and longer, healthier lives.
More than 1,480 patients and clinical samples contributed to our research last year, transforming individual experiences into knowledge that benefits thousands more. Each participant’s contribution brings us closer to better treatments and stronger evidence-based care.
“We’re not just trying to find cancer earlier. We’re trying to spare patients the pain of unnecessary treatments, and give them back more time, more options, and more hope. Our ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for people living with diseases of the oesophagus, stomach, liver and pancreas”
