Researchers at Teeside University are looking for people over the age of 18 and who are living with Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis to shape future medical research.
Help to shape future Crohn's and Colitis medical research work
This project is about making sure that people who are living with Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis have a real say in shaping future medical research from the very beginning. This is so that the science being done actually reflects what matters most to people living with these conditions.
People living with Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis will be invited to take part in workshops and discussions to share their experiences and talk about the things that concern them most about living with these conditions. This will help the researchers to identify possible topics that future scientific studies could investigate.
If you are interested in taking part, or would like more information about the study, please complete the form below.
By entering your details, you are not committing to take part, but your contact details will be forwarded to the researcher who will get in touch with you directly with more information. You will have the opportunity to change your mind at any time.
This research study is NOT organised by Crohn's & Colitis UK and, therefore, we cannot take responsibility for your involvement in the research.

Want to get involved in research?
The best quality research happens when people with Crohn's and Colitis are involved, and you can make a difference at every stage of research.
