Welcome to the website of the Oxford Academic Paediatric Surgery Unit (APSU).  This site provides an overview of the range of activities of the unit, together with an introduction to members of the group.  This is one of few academic paediatric surgical units in the United Kingdom, and seeks to successfully translate basic science and clinical research from laboratory bench to patient bedside. The principal emphases of the unit are: the endocrine and exocrine pancreas, developmental anomalies of the gut, and evidence-based paediatric surgery.
