Pharmacy & Dietary advice for J Pouch patients, Q& A featuring Uchu Meade, Consultant pharmacist, and Gabriela Poufou, Advanced Specialist Inflammatory Bowel Disease Dietitian – both at St. Mark’s Hospital, London (the UK National Bowel Hospital).

Both have previously presented at Red Lion Group Information days and zoom webcasts and you can find recordings on our YouTube channel

For the first time, this session featured the two of them together and the format of the whole session was in the form of an interactive Question & Answer, on two of the most interesting subjects for people with an internal pouch (J Pouch or similar) and that is on the topics of DIETARY and MEDICATION advice for J pouch patients.

In April 2023, Uchu Meade achieved a significant milestone in her career by becoming the first consultant level pharmacist at St Mark’s Hospital. She has presented for RLG previously on the subject “Pharmacy advice for Pouch Patients“. Also taking part was Gabriela Poufou. Gabriela is an Advanced Specialist Inflammatory Bowel Disease Dietitian at St. Mark’s. Her webcast “Healthy eating for Patients with a J Pouch” is one of the most viewed recordings on our YouTube channel.

Attendees were invited to submit questions in advance and also during the session.

After watching this recording, it would be much appreciated if you could submit your feedback at https://forms.office.com/e/a4A1nVT44V.  Survey results will support Uchu and Gabriela’s personal professional development and that interaction with patient groups such as pouchees is a very important part of their professional  evaluation.
