Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Week 1st -7th December 2018

By

Crohn’s and Colitis are diseases of the gut that affect every part of the body. They're debilitating, widely misunderstood and there is no known cure.
Every day, Crohn’s and Colitis has a devastating impact on the lives of 300,000 people across the UK - the real number could be double that.
The gut is like your body’s second brain, so when it goes wrong, it can affect every aspect of your life - from your hormones and digestion, to your energy levels and mental health.
Stigma and misunderstanding around the conditions, means thousands are suffering in silence.
Therefore, the team at Crohn’s and Colitis UK are hoping that this awareness week, everyone will stand together in order to build a world free from Crohn’s and Colitis.

  NHS staff - Your help is required to build understanding of needs for access to evidence in the NHS. The national team for Knowledge and Library Services are researching how NHS staff currently access and use evidence. We have completed interviews with people from all parts of the team and in all settings across the NHS in England. The next phase of the research will seek to validate the needs that have been identified as a result. We want to understand the picture for clinical and non-clinical staff, students and apprentices, those in regular contact with their Knowledge and Library Service and those who are not. You can read about previous user research that informed the creation of the Knowledge and Library Hub and be assured that your input can make the difference.
