Competence IBD Network

Competence Network IBD

logo germany

In Germany, based on an initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the “Competence Network IBD” was established in 1999 to concentrate and further develop the scientific initiatives of various universities in the field of research in inflammatory bowel diseases.


In addition to this horizontal networking, the “Competence Network IBD” also managed to implement and vitalize vertical networking between medical practitioners in clinics and practices.


Apart from these research initiatives, other important tasks included the implementation of advanced IBD courses for doctors as well as the establishment of an IBD-specific qualification for medical assistants. Moreover, the “Competence Network IBD” successfully contributed to the development of guidelines on IBD in Germany.


Currently, the “Competence Network IBD” is focussing on public relations and, additionally, a study platform, the “German IBD Study Group (GISG)”, was installed this year.

OTHER SOCIETY
BSG
BSG – British Society of Gastroenterology

logo uk small

BSG is the major professional society for gastroenterologists in the UK.

It is divided into sections with specific interests, and the IBD section has over 800 members, making it one of the largest in the society. The IBD section organises the IBD symposia at the annual meeting, and makes the case for the society over IBD related issues with government and other organisations.

In recent years this has meant significant interaction with NICE (the government body on cost-effectiveness of drugs) with regard to biological therapy in IBD, and has had significant influence in trying to make biologic therapy more available. The IBD section is also responsible for the BSG IBD guidelines, and has recently set up the IBD Clinical Studies group.

It is working with a number of other organisations to promote better treatment of IBD patients and is currently involved in connection with others in trying to establish and national IBD register, disseminating the results of the national IBD audit and piloting a new self-assessment tool for IBD centres based around the national standards in IBD. It works closely with the patient group Crohn's and Colitis UK in all these fields.
