In a year when sport has such a high profile as a result of 2012 Olympics we
wish to explore the sport and fitness habits of people with IBD through a new
membership survey.
Whether
you want to walk that extra mile, hit the track running, boogie round a
ballroom, take part in a debate at our national conference, or cheer from the
sidelines ... there’s something for everyone in 2012, so
please click here to download our 2012 Events poster and put those dates in
your diary, or pin the poster on your family, community or work notice board to
encourage others.

a £481, 242 grant by the Big Lottery Fund to undertake a project on fatigue in IBD.

fatigue; pilots a fatigue assessment tool; and explores interventions to improve
pain management in IBD.
