REACHing GLOBAL IBD CARE:

Inspired by the IBD Nurse Education Programme, this initiative is created in line with the ECCO REACH Strategy goals, firstly E: for Equitable Access to IBD Care – expanding the outreach and inclusivity of ECCO initiatives to nascent IBD centres across the globe, and also A: for Attain Sustainable IBD Care – delivering sustainable education, as well as H: for Holistic IBD care – treating the patient as a whole. REACH is an acronym of five clear goals shaping ECCO activities over five-years. Learn more here.
