A new UK-wide IBD Patient Survey is now open and will be followed by a new Service Survey in the summer of 2023. Together, they will help to reveal the first true picture of IBD care and treatment in the UK since before the COVID-19 pandemic.
The reports on this page are based on the first IBD Patient Survey and Service Survey, carried out between July 2019 and January 2020. They provide a unique picture of IBD care, benchmarked against the IBD Standards.
Our reports from the 2019/20 IBD Benchmarking Tool provide clear calls to action for political decision-makers across the four UK nations, for NHS commissioners, managers and IBD services and for health professional bodies and patient organisations that will transform IBD care for the future. These results, alongside our resources for services offer a practical approach to service redesign and vital recognition of the specific needs of the estimated 500,000 people living with IBD across the UK.
Everyone with IBD should receive safe, consistent, high-quality personalised care, whatever their age and wherever they live in the UK.
