In this episode of the RCP Medicine podcast, Professor Ailsa Hart and Dr Eathar Shakweh discuss how to approach managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in the acute medical setting. This is the second episode of a 2-part series, with a focus on Crohn's disease. IBD is a common condition, affecting 1 in 123 people in the UK. The 2024 State of the IBD Care in the UK report highlighted the urgent need to shorten time to diagnosis and initiate early treatment to minimise the risk of IBD-related complications. Acute and general medicine physicians have an important role to play in diagnosing and managing IBD. This podcast will equip medics at all stages of training with the necessary knowledge to approach this heterogenous and complex condition. Professor Hart is Director of IBD Research at St Mark’s Hospital, London, United Kingdom and a world-leading expert in IBD. Eathar is an IBD Clinical Research Fellow at St Mark’s and Imperial, with a special interest in perianal fistulising Crohn’s disease. Crohn's & Colitis UK (CCUK) Website<a href='https://links.uk.defend.egress.com/Warning?crId=68382dc3191db762d337cc39&Domain=rcp.ac.uk&Threat=eNpzrShJLcpLzAEADmkDRA%3D%3D&Lang=en&Base64Url=eNrLKCkpKLbS108uys_IK07MS0nOz8ksySzWyy9K1yvN1gcAzEgMNg%3D%3D&@OriginalLink=crohnsandcolitis.org.uk'>https://crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/</a>This is a valuable resource for patients and healthcare professionals alike, containing a wealth of information on IBD investigation and management.British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) guidelines on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) - 2019Lamb, Christopher Andrew et al. “British Society of Gastroenterology consensus guidelines on the management of inflammatory bowel disease in adults.” Gut vol. 68,Suppl 3 (2019): s1-s106. doi:10.1136/gutjnl-2019-318484<a href='https://links.uk.defend.egress.com/Warning?crId=68382dc3191db762d337cc39&Domain=rcp.ac.uk&Threat=eNpzrShJLcpLzAEADmkDRA%3D%3D&Lang=en&Base64Url=eNrLKCkpKLbS1y8oTcpNTdHLS07K1MvLydXLy8zQS88v0zc2NDUzMjI20wcANLENaQ%3D%3D&@OriginalLink=pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31562236/</a>For interested listeners, these are the national guidelines for IBD diagnosis and management.
