Hello Camp Purple kids and parents!

A recent audit of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) nursing practice in New Zealand revealed a severe shortage of nurses’ country wide. Despite this shortage, 100% of the IBD nurses are given only part-time, rather than full-time, positions (typically 0.4 – 0.6 FTE*). Compounding the problem is that IBD nurses often have other clinical responsibilities such as liver care, endoscopy, and general gastroenterology which takes significant time away from their IBD practice.

Kia ora, we are the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinical Nurse Specialists for Te Whatu Ora, Capital and Coast. We offer support, education, advice and guidance and we look forward to working with our patients and their whanau.

In September 2021 we held our second “Living with IBD – seminar and workshop” in Christchurch for young adults between the ages of 18 and 40.
