Experts By Experience Panel
Our Experts By Experience (EBE) Panel is a group of patients or carers affected by a wide variety of digestive diseases. They are an excellent addition to our small but mighty team. We’re proud to say that this panel now assists in deciding which research Guts UK funds, alongside UK medical experts.
