Workshop 1: The GP's role in early detection of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
This multi-faceted, blended learning activity is designed to engage GPs with the complexities of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Through a series of interrelated activities, GPs will learn about the key content relating to IBD vs IBS, as well as how to differentiate between the clinical presentation of Crohn's Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The whole activity consists of an eLearning module, interconnected with a Workbook which includes patient scenarios, and a dialogic live interaction in a workshop led conjointly by a GP (Dr Paresh Dawda) and a GE (Dr Eva Zhang).
