Throughout his career, Colin has emphasised the role of professional networks in learning from others, staying informed, and spotting opportunities early. His experience reflects what many of our members tell us, that being active in a professional community supports growth at every stage.

#SignUpAndStandOut #FoodSafety #Microbiology #FoodSystem

At IFST, we support efforts across the food and health system that improve public understanding and promote informed, evidence-based discussion.

You can follow the conversation or share your own experience using #HowCrohnsFeels or #HowColitisFeels.

This year’s theme, How it Feels, highlights the daily challenges that can disrupt work, study, social plans and routines.

Greater understanding supports earlier help, reduces stigma and creates more responsive workplaces and communities.

We encourage our community to reflect on the role they can play today, and throughout the year, in helping to remove barriers and support equal participation across the food system.

#IDPD #DisabilityInclusion #SocialProgress #FoodSystem #IFST

At IFST, we support a food system where inclusion is built into everyday practice. This means fair opportunities across the sector, accessible communication, and a commitment to environments where people can take part with dignity and independence.
