As a team, we place great importance on providing timely and relevant education to our young patients and their families to help build their confidence in living with their disease between hospital appointments.
IBDmate is an online resource for young people with inflammatory bowel disease and their families.
Created by Seb, one of our patient representatives, IBDmate features an extensive video library consisting of courses covering in depth every topic our young patients and families need to learn how to live with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and IBDU.
More than 15 experts and lots of young patients and family members share their expertise and experiences, and courses are ‘prescribable’ by the team, ensuring patients receive information specific to their needs.
IBDmate has been developed alongside, and tested with our team, and now forms a valuable part of the care we provide. We are constantly working with Seb to expand and improve IBDmate, in accordance with feedback from our patients and families.
