About the ASM

This year, GSA is pleased to join with the AANZHPBA to bring to you a specialised, diverse and forward-thinking Scientific Program that will have you think ‘outside the box’ and present exciting new developments in the areas of Bariatric, HPB and Upper GI surgery. The combining of the two societies will offer many attractive benefits to both organisations and members. A thought-provoking scientific program – steered by a highly respected Organising Committee – combined with a lovely time to be in Western Australia, adds to this being a must-attend event.
