Researchers at King's College London are exploring the ways in which people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) make decisions about stoma-forming surgery, and whether the reality of living with a temporary or permanent stoma for IBD matches the expectations people have before surgery.
More participants needed for stoma study
The study is looking for people who have a current temporary, or recently reversed stoma, who would be willing to participate in a focus group.
The focus groups will take place in the evening between Monday 1 and Friday 12 February (excluding weekends) from 6pm.
Participants will need to be able to travel to Waterloo in London.
