Pancreatitis, a condition characterised by inflammation of the pancreas, is explored from the perspectives of both the people living with this condition and the nurses and charities who are there to support them. Stacey Munnelly and Alex Gaskell, Advanced Nurse Practitioners at Manchester University, discuss the pathology, presentation and management of pancreatitis. Jenny Holdsworth of Guts UK explains how the charity supports people with digestive disorders and interviews patients Ray Snow and Rob MacKenzie about their experiences of living with pancreatitis.
