If you’re experiencing symptoms that suggest you might have Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), or if you’ve already been diagnosed and need ongoing care, talk to your GP. They can refer you to the IBD team at the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust.  Once we receive the referral, we’ll be in touch to arrange an appointment and discuss your treatment options.  We’re committed to providing timely and appropriate care, so don’t hesitate to reach out to your GP if you have any concerns.
