Direct access - Dietetics-led IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) Service

"We also see improvements in each individual symptom of IBS as well as the overall symptoms and after accessing our service patients report that they have much better control of their symptoms which then allows them to engage more with social activities and they have a higher attendance rate at work or education as well and many of our patients also tell us that they feel more ready for further health behaviour changes"
