Abstract

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term used to describe a group of disorders characterised by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, of which ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are the most common. It is estimated that 500 000 people in the UK currently live with IBD. There are two peaks of incidence, the first of which is between 15 and 30 years of age, with a second smaller peak between 60 and 80 years of age. Its prevalence is ever increasing, and GPs play an important role in early diagnosis, which is the key in reducing the need for aggressive treatment.
