Researchers at St Mark's Hospital are looking for people who have had surgery for IBD to help develop the final stage of their outcome measure.
Development of a sexual function patient-reported outcome measure (sex-PROM): Phase 3
Researchers at St Mark's Hospital are developing a patient reported outcome measure that can be used to identify and treat symptoms of sexual dysfunction after benign pelvic colorectal surgery.
They would like people living with IBD who have undergone surgery to test the measure by completing a questionnaire.
To take part you must:
- be over 18
- live in the UK
- have undergone surgery for IBD
- have not participated in the development of this project so far.
If you are interested in taking part please email LNWH-tr.sexprom@nhs.net for more information.
You are not committing to take part and 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.
