Patient Involvement in Research Day: New and exciting ways to be part of research
Taking place on Saturday 7 September at Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester, this free event brings together researchers, healthcare professionals and people like you living with Crohn’s or Colitis.
This is an exciting opportunity for anyone with Crohn's or Colitis to learn about innovative and exciting new research. It’s a perfect time for you to have your say, meet leading and pioneering IBD researchers and shape the research of the future.
Research isn’t just lab coats and test tubes - the day will show you new and interesting ways you can get involved that can suit your life.
We want people from all across the UK to come along and so will cover reasonable travel expenses. Be quick, because there’s only 100 spaces.
