IBS CPD module – NB Medical

We all love a summer freebie and if you are looking to fill in an hour of your time whilst doing some CPD why not try NB Medical’s IBS CPD module which has been recently updated and is provided to you free of charge.

Every healthcare professional will be familiar with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Its prevalence in the UK population ranges between 10-20%, with a considerable number of patients presenting to primary care for review and advice.

We know how a diagnosis of IBS can have a profound effect on the individual and on society as a whole: not only impairing quality of life for patients on a similar magnitude to inflammatory bowel disease, but also knowing how IBS is responsible for the second highest cause of work absenteeism due to its chronic, relapsing-remitting symptoms.

There have been considerable advances with IBS with recent updates for the diagnosis, aetiology and management of this condition, which may very well change our practice:

• Are you familiar with the latest British Society of Gastroenterology’s advice for explaining the aetiology of IBS to our patients?
• What dietary advice are we now recommending to our patients with IBS?
• What management options can we offer to patients with refractory IBS…and, actually now you mention this, what is refractory IBS?
