Andrea also has a strong track record in delivering high‑quality national educational events and surgical skills courses. She does this through her current roles as the regional representative for the Association of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery (AUGIS) and as a member of the Early Careers Group Committee for the European–African Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (E‑AHPBA). She has also served as the national HPB trainee representative.
