Our Diverticular Disease PSP prioritisation survey is out now – have your say!

If you or a loved one has diverticular disease, or if you’re a healthcare professional or researcher working in this area, we’d love to hear from you.However you’ve been affected by this digestive condition, this is your opportunity to have your say on the future of research into diverticular disease, including diverticula, diverticulitis, and diverticulosis.

Our Diverticular Disease Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) was launched in 2023 and our first survey revealed a list of questions that you wanted research to answer. With the help of a steering group, we reviewed those questions, grouped them by theme and whittled them down to around 60 questions. At that stage, they were sense checked to make sure that any questions already answered by existing research were removed.

Now, we’re asking you to help us decide which of these questions are most important. This will allow us to identify around 25 questions to take to a final workshop in February 2025, where a group of patients, family members, clinicians and researchers will come together to decide the top ten research priorities for diverticular disease.

What’s important to you, is important to us. The top ten priorities will help inform the research that Guts UK funds in the future.
