Research isn't just lab coats and test tubes, it's about finding answers to questions that matter. Our Patient Involvement in Research day is a perfect opportunity for you to have your say on research that's being done and how it's done.
Want to shape the future 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.
We want people from around the UK to join us so will cover reasonable travel expenses and provide accommodation if necessary.
This is an exciting opportunity for anyone with Crohn's or Colitis to learn about innovative and exciting new research, to meet leading and pioneering IBD researchers and to help shape the research of the future.
It's simple and rewarding to get involved so bring your voice to a conversation that will help ensure research delivers results for you.
