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.
For more details and to receive the study information sheet, contact Dr Lesley Dibley lesley.b.dibley@kcl.ac.uk
