About the IBD Registry
Our purpose is to improve the health of people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the UK.
We are the national registry for IBD, which includes Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, IBD unclassified and other forms of IBD.
We collect and analyse patient data to help improve treatment and care for people with IBD. Our data can also be used to support vital research.
We are a not-for-profit organisation owned by the Royal College of Physicians. We were founded as a company in 2019 by the Royal College of Physicians working together with the British Society of Gastroenterology and Crohn’s & Colitis UK. We were originally formed in 2012 by a group of consultant gastroenterologists (senior IBD doctors) to help provide a better picture of IBD in the UK. Now we have more than 100 hospitals sharing data with us, with a database of over 82,000 patient records. Find out more about who we are.
