IBD UK Alliance Lived Experience Board Member Recruitment

Help shape the future of IBD care

The IBD UK Alliance is recruiting lived experience Board members to help shape the future direction of its work as it moves into an important new phase of development.

Patient voice and lived experience remain central to the Alliance’s future direction and we are committed to ensuring that the experiences, insights and priorities of people accessing IBD services continue to inform and shape our work.

We are looking for individuals who are passionate about improving care, strengthening collaboration and helping services better understand the experiences of patients and those affected by inflammatory bowel disease across the UK.

You do not need previous Board experience to apply. We are committed to an accessible and supportive recruitment process and welcome applications from individuals from a broad range of backgrounds with diverse experiences and perspectives.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping standards, quality improvement and future priorities across a growing national alliance.

If you would like to discuss the role in more detail, please feel free to contact the IBD UK Alliance team and we would be happy to arrange an informal conversation.
