Description

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) affects approximately 85,000 Australians and 5 million people worldwide and includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These conditions may have a major impact on patient’s quality of life. To discuss both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease in more detail we are joined by Dr Catherine Sorrell, a very experienced and popular gastroenterologist who takes us on a fascinating journey including –

· Top down and bottom up approaches to pharmacological management

· Sharing her approach to selecting medical therapy for patients with IBD.

Catherine explains these clinical problems with great mastery. I am pleased to invite you to this conversation.
