his service evaluation summarises outcome data from 97

patients seen within the service between June 2014 and

October 2015. Data collection was completed post-intervention

using outcome measures from patient records at the point of

discharge. Data collection focuses on symptom improvement,

pharmacological changes, and qualitative data, with a focus

on quality of life and patient experience. Results demonstrate

the intervention improved Stool Frequency (n87/97) and

Consistency (n88/97) in 96%, and 90% saw a global symptom

improvement of >50%. 100% (n26/26) taking medication at the

start of intervention had stopped, or reduced medication on

discharge. Analysis identified a cost saving of 72.8%. Qualitative

data identified themes demonstrating a highly positive impact

on quality of life. Pilot results led to continuation of Dietetic Led

community Gastroenterology Services. The department works

towards securing further funding to increase capacity of this

service.
