Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most prevalent functional gastrointestinal disease seen in primary care. IBS is a multidisciplinary problem that also places a substantial burden on gastroenterologists and can require the involvement of other specialists.
This updated UEG online learning course on IBS is delivered in four modules comprising contributions from an international team of primary care and secondary care experts. Learners are invited to test their knowledge before undertaking each module and then again at the end of each module.
Target audience
This course is aimed at general practitioners, general practitioners in training and specialist gastroenterologists; however, it is also suitable for other health or allied professionals with an interest in irritable bowel syndrome.
