Education & Resources
Education Evenings
STPN Gastroenterology Education evenings are held quarterly and are hosted by a different trust from the network. If you would like to submit a case to present at one of these sessions please contacts us.
The constipation task and finish group is collating resources on constipation care for patients and families, primary care and secondary/ tertiary care clinicians.
We will be holding quarterly complex IBD case discussions, these will be held quarterly with a rotating chair with the host hospital moderating these discussions. Outcomes are not clinically binding but aim to enrich learning and guide clinical decision making. If you would like to submit a case to present at one of these sessions please contact us.

Resources
Patient Information Packs
These patient information packs have been shared by members and are currently in use by constipation services running with the Network. These are not quite generic and do signpost to specific services on offer in that local area. However, they could be used to help other members create their own resources. Permission has been obtained to make use of the content, but please do credit the source.
Credit and thanks to the Children & Young People’s Health Partnership Team (CYPHP) and Sandra Hanson, Constipation Specialist Nurse at Dartford & Gravesham NHS Trust for sharing this. Please feel free to contact them for any advice.
