Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Centre
The Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Centre co-ordinates gastroenterology, colorectal surgery, pathology, radiology, pharmacy, nutrition, nursing and research for people with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and holds regular multidisciplinary meetings for patients who need additional layers of care. It publishes the drugs it treats with by name across three classes, and runs a dedicated infusion centre for the injectable ones. Referrals are accepted directly by the centre for patients who already have a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease; suspected IBD goes first to gastroenterology or colorectal surgery for evaluation.
