In 2023, we conducted our latest round of IBD UK Benchmarking. The aim of the IBD UK Benchmarking was to identify how IBD Services are performing against the 2019 IBD Standards, which lay out what high-quality IBD care should look like across the UK. The Benchmarking comprised two surveys: a Patient Survey, asking people with Crohn’s and Colitis to rate the quality of their care over the last 12 months, and a Service Survey, which asked IBD Services to evaluate themselves against the IBD Standards.
Using the data from the surveys, we have now been able to produce reports for each of the devolved nations, revealing the current state of Crohn's and Colitis care in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland respectively. These are in addition to the 2024 IBD UK Report, which looks at the overall state of Crohn's and Colitis care in the UK as a whole.
The Welsh report is available in English and Welsh.
