💜 Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week 💜
This week, we’re helping to raise awareness of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, long-term conditions that affect more than 500,000 people in the UK. These illnesses are often invisible, but their impact on daily life can be significant.
At our surgery, we are committed to supporting patients living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). If you have ongoing digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, diarrhoea, or blood in your stool, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Early assessment and support can make a big difference.
How you can help:
• Learn the signs and symptoms of IBD
• Support friends, family, and colleagues living with these conditions
• Reduce stigma by talking openly and compassionately about invisible illnesses
If you have questions or concerns about your digestive health, our clinical team is here to help.
