Specialist centres

A specialist centre is a hospital where there is a team of medical professionals who specialise in pancreatic cancer. There are specialist centres across the UK. Local hospitals work with the specialist centres them to make sure people get the best treatment and care.

Finding your local specialist centre

This section has the contact details of hospitals that have pancreatic cancer specialist teams. The page is split up by region, so you can search for the area you live. If possible, we have provided links to the hospital websites so you can find more information on the teams and centres treating pancreatic cancer.

These services may be called HPB (hepatopancreaticobiliary) centres as the same specialists may work with people affected by pancreatic, liver, gallbladder and bile duct cancers.
