Information Day 2026

The Kangaroo Club’s 2026 Information Day is taking place on Saturday 10th October at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, Godstow Road, Oxford, OX2 8AL.

As well as time being given for informal discussion with other attendees, there is a full programme of pouch-centred presentations around the theme of ‘The Bigger Picture’, by Kat Baker our President and Consultant Colorectal Surgeon OUH NHS Foundation Trust, a Gastroenterologist, a Pharmacist, and a Psychologist, as well as by IBD and Pouch Nurses. More details and the complete programme will be published in due course.

Anyone with a pouch, or an interest in pouches (perhaps you are considering surgery or are a supporter of a ‘pouchee’), is warmly invited to join us - just complete and submit the Sign Up form below. The Information Day is free to attend; we do however ask for a donation towards the cost of your lunch from those that can afford it.

Feedback from 2025 included: 'Well organised, great speakers, very professional.' 'Excellent day, really informative.' 'Overall another excellent day, great presentations and a very friendly inclusive environment.'
