Gastrointestinal conditions

Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases are made up of a range of conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract, from mouth to anus. Conditions can be categorised as functional, where the GI tract looks normal but does not function properly and structural, where there is a known cause that disrupts the digestive system.

Symptoms for GI diseases can be painful and debilitating for patients but there are a wide range of treatments and interventions that pharmacists can provide support with.

Our collection of GI resources has been organised into three categories that can be accessed via the icons above or directly from the sections below.

You can also take our self-assessment quiz to test your knowledge and help identify areas of interest.

If you have further topics that you would like to see included in the GI collection, please contact the research and learning team.
