The Crohn's & Colitis UK Nursing Programme was launched as a five-year plan in May 2019, setting out our ambition to build a community of Crohn’s & Colitis UK Nurse Specialists, to make a positive difference to people’s lives. Read our report to find out what impact the programme has had so far.
In order to understand the impact of the nursing programme, nurses were asked to complete a
question-based evaluation form. This incorporated questions from the ‘Foundation of Nursing Studies’
model of personal and professional impact evaluation to understand the impact on nurses of
participating in the programme, the impact on their own IBD service and on patient care.
We conducted in depth interviews with a smaller number of the programme nurses from both the MSc
and credentialling pathways. We used a modified version of the Kirkpatrick evaluation model to find
out more about their experiences and impact of their learning while on the programme
The subsequent report includes six nursing stories from Crohn's & Colitis UK Nurse Specialists across the UK. They describe their involvement in the nursing programme and the learning outcomes they have achieved and impacts on patients.
Achievements and learning outcomes include:

The support from the programme is immense. It's hard to quantify it and how much it's helped me. It's just opened up so much to me, in ways of support, but also knowledge, encouragement, and information.
