- Original description
IBD pregnancy requires multidisciplinary management, but access to this may be difficult for some, resulting in variation in care which may in turn impair quality of healthcare delivery. We need to devise innovative ways to deliver care to overcome these barriers. The PREGO study will interrogate the value of multidisciplinary care in IBD pregnancy, and test a new virtual-based way of improving access to care.Read full original descriptionShow less
