Information is power
Our guts have been underfunded, undervalued and underrepresented for decades. We exist to change that. Guts UK is the only UK charity funding research into the digestive system from top to tail, including the gut, liver and pancreas.
We truly believe that information is power. We are passionate about providing evidence-based, expert information to patients affected by digestive conditions and symptoms. Armed with this information, people can make informed decisions about their health.
At Guts UK, we help people like Natalie to get the information they need and to feel less alone.
The PIF TICK
Guts UK is proud to be a trusted information creator for health information. We gained our PIF TICK accreditation from the Patient Information Forum in 2023.
What is the PIF TICK?
The PIF TICK is the UK’s only assessed quality mark for printed and online health information. To gain this accreditation, Guts UK had to undertake a very thorough assessment after applying. The process that we use to produce information was scrutinised by experts and we had to show our production process met PIF’s essential criteria for trustworthy information.
Information that has the sealed approval of a PIF TICK is evidence-based, understandable, jargon-free, up-to-date, and produced to the best possible standard.
Why is a PIF TICK important?
We know that when it comes to our guts, information and knowledge is power. It’s important to us that we’re producing robust, trustworthy and evidence-based information. With expert patient information, people can take control of their health and make informed decisions.
We want our community to trust and feel confident in the information they read from Guts UK.
