Ileostomy and Internal Pouch Association

Ileostomy and Internal Pouch Association, known as IA, has been specialising in supporting people living with an ileostomy since 1956.

IA is a network of local groups offering local support to its membership, their families, and carers, from coffee mornings and trips to information days and talks. In addition to IA’s flagship visiting service, where we endeavour to match patient to visitor in terms of age, gender, surgery and lifestyle preferences, IA offers a range of other services such as literature, a quarterly magazine, financial support to its membership, educational events and a voice to represent the patient living with an ileostomy or internal pouch.
