The State of IBD Care in the UK report describes the results of the 2023 IBD Benchmarking, in which 17,654 people living with IBD and 150 IBD services took part. The report supports the long-term outcome of everyone living with IBD in the UK receiving a timely diagnosis and equitable access to quality care. The report recommendations will drive national and local action to deliver improvements and tackle variation in IBD diagnosis and care across the UK. Following the publication of the local service reports in April 2024, which we hope you have all received and looked at, this webinar will include:

• Key findings and statistics
• Actionable recommendations
• Examples of best practice
• Sharing of lived experience
