Past Events

Our pouch events are a great opportunity for people to learn more about the medical and lifestyle aspects of living with an internal pouch. If you’ve been unable to attend an event we’ll post a link to the presentation material below that we can share from the day. That way everyone benefits, whether you attended or not!

Don’t forget to keep an eye out for events that IA hope to be running in 2021. Pop over to our Current Events page or keep in touch with us on social media to find out more.
