Aims and Scope

Colorectal Disease is a journal devoted to the clinical problems that are directly relevant to adult (>18 years) patients with intestinal (small bowel, colon, rectum & anus) diseases & the multidisciplinary (surgical, medical, nursing, pathology, radiology, oncology) clinical teams that care for them. 
Colorectal Disease publishes original research & reviews regarding the epidemiology & aetiology, diagnosis, classification, management, prognosis and long-term sequelae of lower gastrointestinal tract diseases. It also welcomes submissions relating to aspects of healthcare processes that directly impact patients with lower gastrointestinal diseases such as:

• health service provision / organisation
• health economics
• the conduct of high-quality research
• the training & education of healthcare professionals

Manuscripts relating to sociocultural and political issues as well as wider workforce matters are outside of the scope of Colorectal Disease.

Readership

Colorectal Disease should appeal to all members of the multidisciplinary team – colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists, pathologists, oncologists, radiologists, specialist nurses and any other health professional who cares for patients with lower gastrointestinal diseases. The journal also aims to appeal to those patients who have an interest in learning more about their own disease and / or who have participated in the research we have published.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Colorectal Disease aims to foster inclusive research that reflects the disciplinary, human, and geographic diversity of scientists, clinicians and other health professionals working in this area. Submissions are welcomed from authors of all ethnicities, races, colours, religions, sexes, sexual orientations, gender identities, national origins, disabilities, ages, or other individual status.
