This year's Patient Involvement in Research Day took place on Saturday 11th November 2023 on Zoom.
Over 100 people joined us throughout the morning to listen to talks from researchers and to take part in live polls to help shape their current and future research.
It's so important that people living with IBD are involved in research at every step, as it ensures the outcomes of the research meet our community's needs, and participants have helped to shape several exciting projects.
