Have you been gaslit by your doctor?

Hi everyone!

Have you also felt that your doctor dismisses your symptoms or says you are 'exaggerating'? Or that the blame your symptoms on stress without actually helping you?

If you have, please consider filling out this questionnaire. Our aim is to use the responses to inform healthcare and help improve how clinicians treat patients with IBS.

The study is titled “Developing a new measure for medical dismissal”. The purpose of this project is to test a new questionnaire to assess experiences of being dismissed by healthcare services for people living with long-term conditions such as IBS.

We want to learn more about what makes these experiences feel positive or negative, how they affect people emotionally and physically, and what could improve them in the future.

We are asking people 18 years or older, in the UK, who have a diagnosis of IBS or who have experienced a symptom for a period of 6 months, and have used or tried to use healthcare services at least 5 times in the past two years for any kind of health issue, to take part in several online surveys.

We are so grateful for your time and will be offering a £10 voucher as a thank you.
