Part three of seven: Trainee Gastroenterologist, Dr Jennifer Tham, interviews, Dr Bel Kok, Consultant Gastroenterologist at the Royal London Hospital and Honorary Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, to discuss the practical application of the latest ASUC guidelines. They explore the presenting symptoms and diagnosis of acute severe ulcerative colitis, including the use of statistical algorithms summarised in the IBD guidelines.

Given the severity and high risk profile of ASUC, rapid access to up-to-date guidance is essential to prevent delays in treatment. Dr Tham and Dr Kok also examine the updated therapies and management strategies outlined in the new guidelines.
