The Irish Society for Colitis and Crohns Disease was founded in 1984 by a group of sufferers and their families.
We organise public meetings throughout the country at which lectures are given by doctors, gastroenterologists, surgeons and dieticians.
The ISCC offers members someone to talk to and share problems and solutions 3 mornings a week; Yearly newsletters; a series of meetings & lectures countrywide between September and April each year; and support in times of need.
