NACC offers a wide range of services for people with IBD including an information service over the telephone, a confidential listening service called NACC-in-Contact, Personal Grants to help those on a low income that have a specific need arising from their IBD, Guidance on claiming Disability Living Allowance, Counsellors trained by NACC to help people with IBD and a support network for children with IBD and their parents. NACC provides a range of information sheets and booklets for patients and their families, to help them to manage their IBD and to live their lives as effectively as possible within the constraints of their illness. NACC is one of just 40 organisations chosen by the Department of Health from over 120 applications to participate in the testing phase of a new scheme, to provide a quality mark to help people choose information that they can rely on. The Information Accreditation Scheme is being developed to deliver a nationally-recognised way to reassure people that the health and social care information they receive comes from a reliable source. Subject to achieving certification through this testing phase, NACC will become one of the first scheme members when it launches in 2009, demonstrating a recognised level of excellence in the production of accurate, reliable and timely information to help people understand their illness and make informed choices about their care and treatment.
