"The helpline is brilliant. The team are so supportive and easy to talk to. I feel so grateful that this service is available to me as I do not know anybody with IBD."
Feedback from people who have used the service
The person was very kind and compassionate. They filled me with reassurance.
The officer helped me locate all the information I wanted to research so I can now make an informed decision about my medication.
Listening, understanding/summarising my situation and providing information.
Just carry on what they are doing! I am on a long waiting list to be seen and it is very reassuring to have knowledgeable support to refer to.
Polite, friendly, respected my query.
Answered every question in detail and didn’t fob me off. Very quick response.
Just being a place to call when I’m not receiving response from my IBD Team helps me feel less ignored.
