Crohn’s & Colitis UK are pleased to offer Health Care Professionals a free training programme focusing on the delivery and management of hospital-based advice line services for people living with Crohn’s or Colitis.
There are no more Advice Line Training sessions in 2023, but they will be returning in 2024. Dates are still TBC.
The Advice Line Training will be delivered in a hybrid format with the option of attending face to face or virtually using Microsoft Teams over a full day, with surveys both prior to and after the training session. Resources and references will be available to those that have completed the Advice Line Training.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to fund any travel or accommodation costs if you choose to attend face to face.
The Advice Line Training has been co-produced by IBD Nurse Specialists, IBD patients, and the Helpline team from Crohn’s & Colitis UK.
The training is provided free of charge, but places are limited for each session. We recommend registering for the session as soon as possible!

This course helped me reflect on our current advice line set up and given me tools to improve it. I have always seen the advice line as an addition to the service but now understand that it is the main part of our service and I want to get it right.
