An incredible night hosting our patient education evening with Alex Barnes, MD FRACP MPH PhD BE(Hons)(Mecht) BMaCompSc, Dr Paul Spizzo, Dr Justin Baker and Alice Day. It was inspiring to hear from the exceptional team leading IBDSA Crohn’s colitis care.

A big thank you goes to our State Manager Cassie Bennetts for also making the night run as smooth as possible.

Our conversations with patients made it clear- they had a truly valuable and positive experience.

A huge thank you to our wonderful sponsors for making the evening possible: RadiologySA, Miga - Medical Insurance Group Australia, and Byblos for the amazing food and hospitality
