    Section 2: Pre-diagnosis

    Everyone with IBD should receive an early and accurate diagnosis of their condition. This will mean they get the treatment and support they need sooner and be better able to manage their condition.

    Back to Section 1: The IBD Service

    Everyone living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease should have safe, consistent, high quality, personalised care. A well-organised and managed local Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) service is essential to delivering this.

    Forward to Section 3: Newly diagnosed

    It’s essential to get the right treatment and support in place for newly diagnosed patients with IBD. This will give them the best outcomes and help them adjust to living with the condition.
