Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is essential for people with pancreatic cancer.

As the intermittent shortages of PERT continues across the UK, it’s important that all health professionals have accurate, expert guidance to support patients during this challenging time.

Join us on 17th September for our free morning webinar exploring the PERT shortage guidance for health professionals.

This event is designed specifically for Clinical Nurse Specialists and dietitians working with people with pancreatic cancer. At the event you will explore what to do if a patient is running low or cannot get PERT and have the opportunity to ask your questions to specialists.
