We're hosting and sharing a range of education resources for Community Pharmacists, aiming to increase their knowledge of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and particularly focusing on the importance of Early Diagnosis. See below for what is in store.
By raising awareness and increasing understanding of the presenting symptoms, community (primary care) healthcare professionals will be encouraged to refer people with suspected Crohn's or Colitis to a GP earlier and, as a result, support earlier diagnosis.
The primary care diagnostic pathways for lower gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms have been created to support healthcare professionals to shorten time to diagnosis, reduce variation and improve adults' experiences of care. They are endorsed by RPS, RCGP, BSG, and BSPGHAN.
This IBD toolkit aims to be a 'one-stop-shop', a user-friendly guide to IBD for GPs and other primary care professionals. You will need to create a free login to access the toolkit.
Extra-intestinal manifestations occur in up to half of people with IBD. They are many and varied - in some cases, it may be the first sign of IBD, others may occur in people years after diagnosis even when their GI symptoms are well controlled.
Hot Topics webinar based on the latest evidence and guidance in IBD.
Dr Rachel Ainley, Head of Research and Evidence, talks to Dr Neal Tucker about IBD and the Early Diagnosis Campaign.
Free CPD Modules available for IBD.
CPD Modules for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Teams available for IBD from Pharmacy Magazine. Free registration is required to access CPD Modules.
