Welcome to our Crohn’s and Colitis Education Programme: North West

These sessions are run by your IBD nurses, supported and funded by Crohn’s & Colitis UK. To provide you with reliable information, so you feel empowered to better manage your condition or support someone in managing theirs.

Your local IBD nurses have a huge wealth of knowledge and have come together to deliver sessions on topics which are important and relevant. We know what we’re talking about. We help give people the comfort and confidence to live freer and fuller lives.
