title: 'Kate always treated me as a person, as well as a patient'.
abstract: I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2008 and since then my inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) nurse specialist Kate Blight has been a vital member of the team overseeing my treatment. During a 3-year period when my health deteriorated and my hospital visits increased, she went beyond the call of duty many times to provide the best patient care.
