Earlier in the week we did a presentation at an event on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) which was hosted by a patient and clinician led group who want to raise the profile of the disease and what help there is available.
We were asked if we could produce some information that patients can use on returning to work after a period of sickness absence. What we did was work with patients and clinicians to put together a IBD wellness action plan. The feedback we got from people who attended the event, liked it and thought it would make it easier for IBD patients to return to work and keep them in employment.
