IBD patient panel
Click here to read the full articleJanuary 7th, 2009 by Webmaster
The Leeds IBD patient panel aims to work with both IBD patients and the healthcare professionals involved in their care to improve the services that are provided to IBD patients in the Leeds area. The panel was set up in June 2008.
The panel is made up of a group of patients who have Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). 3 committee members from West Riding of Yorkshire IA are members of the panel and aim to represent the views of West Riding of Yorkshire IA members to the panel. A number of healthcare professionals from Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust regularly attend the meetings to offer their input into the issues being discussed.
West Riding of Yorkshire IA fully support the patient panel initiative. Our hope is that the work of the panel will ensure that the services on offer for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease continue to improve and meet our needs. The majority of our members have had their Ileostomies or Internal Pouches formed as a treatment for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
If you would like any more information about the panel, please contact Sarah on 07531 816275.
