Summary - 2026 Canberra Gut Club

Canberra Gut Club is a quarterly educational event held for ACT/NSW Gastroenterologists.

Each evening comprises two expert speakers, covering topics of interest in luminal gastroenterology, updates to guidelines, and issues relevant to local practice in NSW.

Approximately 35-40 specialists and gastroenterology advanced trainees attend each meeting from both public hospitals and private practice.

It is an opportunity to further the academic community of practice and forge networks between colleagues in Canberra and NSW.
