I've had alot of care and appointments with my ibd nurse and gastro consultants who have supported me physically over the last few years as I try to become stable on medication to control my ulcerative colitis. I had one 4 day hospital stay in that time in ward 6 which was a good ward with nice staff. My ibd nurse is so important to me and I'm thankful that service is available as I have the option to contact her if I need to which I've done numerous times. It helps knowing there is someone there.

Dear Joey1983, thank you so much for taking the time to post on Care Opinion. Its always good to get positive feedback. As GI/IBD specialist nurses we work hard to provide support and early intervention at the right time by the right person.
IBD is such a hidden condition and impacts on so many aspects of the sufferers life. We want to make the journey easier for you.
Thankyou again
