Thank you to each and every person that participated in this PEEK study and to Crohn’s & Colitis Australia for all of their support.

Just make sure that there is always access to treatment for people, especially those who maybe can’t afford treatment upfront. Making sure that there is treatment available for everyone. Participant 41
The best medical professionals are the ones who truly listen to the patients and understand their needs and their drive, what’s important to them. What’s important to the patient is not necessarily what’s important to the doctor. Participant 51
One of my biggest things, and it’s come with the fact that it took me nearly seven years to be diagnosed, is the awareness to the GP. Participant 29
I think when you’re diagnosed you should be recommended to see a counselor or psychologist to help you deal with the fact that you’ve just been doing this a lifelong condition and for the ups and downs that go with it. Participant 40
Honestly, I’m grateful for everything. For the cost of the medication, the specialist IBD team, everything and the public system, obviously, it’s free. I’m grateful to live in this country and what they offer, and what they can give us. Participant 78
