We have been run by hardworking volunteers for two decades and we cover Torbay, Teignbridge and the South Hams. We work closely with the Gastroenterology Team at Torbay Hospital and our Medical Advisor is Dr Cathryn Edwards.  Organising Team Meetings are every last Monday of the month, except June and August and all Crohn's and Colitis UK members are welcome. We meet at The Members Room, Torbay Hospital, near The Bayview Restaurant. We hold regular fundraising and social events and we produce a newsletter three times a year (see newsletter page) - we also keep our website and facebook page regularly updated with the latest news. *** Survey: What matters about the hospital environment? What is important about being treated in hospital? The Department of Health is establishing a new system of patient-led inspections of the hospital environment, as announced by the Prime Minister in January. In order to develop the questions to ask the patients and their carers, it is important to find out what’s important and really matters to them about the hospital environment. Here is an opportunity for you to contribute to this. You are invited to take part in this survey if: · You have experience of being treated in hospital in the last couple of years, and/or · You are able to represent a patient or group of patients The survey can be found here: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22FNNCWBVHL Please do take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire, ideally by Friday June 1st; your feedback really matters. All responses will be completely confidential. *** Crohn's and Colitis Month this year is May.
