The aims of the Spotlight Project are to improve understanding of IBD among GPs and to produce a toolkit and educational materials which will help to speed up diagnosis and improve the support that GPs are able to give their IBD patients.
Dr Kevin Barrett, a GP Commissioner who has Crohn’s Disease himself has been appointed as Clinical Champion for Inflammatory Bowel Disease to lead this Spotlight Project, supported by the Royal College of GPs and Crohn’s & Colitis UK.
An expert project advisory group made up of patient and professional representatives is guiding Crohn’s & Colitis UK in this work, with wider input from patient and GP reference groups.
