We are delighted that My Crohn’s and Colitis Care has received a Communiqué Award for Writing Excellence and has also been commended for the 2016 BMA Patient Information Awards.
My Crohn's & Colitis Care receives a Communique Award
The Communiqué Awards Programme is designed to recognise and commend excellence and best practice in local, European and international healthcare communications.
This project took a great approach and showed strong evidence of success. The team did a fantastic job of distilling a really complex piece of work into clear writing that showed good patient engagement. It would obviously be empowering for patients.
My Crohn’s and Colitis Care identifies the top ten essentials of a good Inflammatory Bowel Disease service and outlines how you can work together with your local health service to manage your condition and care. It is supported by nine professional organisations, including the Royal College of Nursing, British Society of Gastroenterology, Royal College of Physicians and Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
