Inflammatory Bowel Disease Toolkit

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a life-long relapsing-remitting condition affecting the bowels and many other parts of the body. Symptoms can develop at any age, and can mimic those of many other conditions. This newly designed toolkit allows users to learn about IBD through different formats including three bite-sized NUBs - New Useful Bits, a 30 minute module and a recorded podcast. The toolkit provides tips to help those working in Primary Care suspect, investigate, and refer patients for appropriate investigations. It also summarises key information to consider when supporting patients living with IBD.
