Ever been given lots of medical information at an appointment, only to get home and realise you aren't really sure what the doctor said? Perhaps you got told something about your condition or were offered choices about your treatment but don't feel able to make a decision? Maybe you've been given new medicine but you're not sure how to take it now you're at home? Managing Crohn's or Colitis is a lot. It can feel complicated and it's easy to become overwhelmed by all the different information out there. At Crohn's & Colitis UK we want to make understanding information about IBD easier. That's why we've set up a panel of volunteers to tell us what works about our information, and what doesn't. If you've got something to say then we would love you to join our Information Feedback Volunteers. Information Feedback Volunteers help produce our award-winning information. They share their experience of having Crohn’s or Colitis and provide feedback on drafts of our upcoming webpages, videos and infographics. They help to make sure the information we produce is relevant and easy to understand and are a key part of our information production process. We're particularly interested in hearing from people from a Black, Asian or mixed heritage background. This is because these groups are currently underrepresented, and their voice is important. However, we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds as everyone’s contribution is important.
