Find a Patient Panel
Patient panels are a group of people with Crohn’s or Colitis who use the same hospital and work with their healthcare professionals to help shape their service. Getting involved with a Patient Panel is enjoyable and rewarding, as well as a great learning experience for both patients and professionals. Find your local patient panel or connect with other panels across the UK using our map.

This map is not fully comprehensive and inclusion is not an endorsement of the panel. If your local patient panel is not on the map, they may have chosen not to publish their contact details, and your hospital are the best people to contact to find out more. If you are a healthcare professional or part of a patient panel and would like to add your information to this map, please complete this form.
Being an active participant in my local IBD patient panel enables me to influence the improvement of IBD services in Wales. Sharing my personal experiences to support others helps me to think positively about my condition.
Patient Panels can:
- Give the IBD team feedback on services and offer them the chance to make real and significant improvements.
- Go directly to commissioners or managers to ask for resources, like a new nurse. Input from patients can really strengthen the case for ‘need’.
- Act as a sounding board for proposals for service redesign, development, and research.
- Pro-actively suggest developments and service improvements.
- Inform and empower other patients, parents, carers and young people.
- Help raise awareness of Crohn’s and Colitis at a Trust or Board level.
If you don’t have a patient panel but would like to start one, take a look at our tools and resources to support you.
