Raising awareness Resources

Guts UK is the national charity for the digestive system, helping the UK get to grips with guts for over 50 years. The charity’s vision is a world where digestive conditions are better understood, better treated and everyone who lives with one gets the support they need. Its mission is to improve the lives of millions of people affected by digestive conditions through three main areas of work: information and support, awareness and public education, and research.

Dr Fiona Carmichael & Dr Claire Hulme examine several government policy initiatives over the past decade that aim to support informal carers.
