JUNE 2023 - IBD PATIENT SURVEY FOCUS

We need your help! Over 10,000 people have now completed the IBD Patient Survey, but we need to do more to make sure that the responses reflect the views of everyone living with IBD across the UK. We are working with Ethnic Opinions, who specialise in reaching harder to reach groups, and they have identified our Local Networks as a key way to reach out to groups that we don’t always hear from. Please help us spread the word.
