We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Diane Palmer as she steps down after more than two years of service on our Board of Trustees.

During her time with PANS PANDAS UK, Diane has repeatedly shown her passion for improving the lives of all those living with PANS and PANDAS, working tirelessly to raise awareness and to drive forward important engagement with key stakeholders.

Thank you so much Diane for giving so generously of your time and knowledge and we wish you every success in her your ventures.

 

We are delighted to announce that Dr Victoria Queralt has now joined the PANS PANDAS UK Board of Trustees. Victoria is a clinical psychologist with a particular interest in child health and the interplay between physical and mental health. She is passionate about effective support for children, young people and families.

Welcome to the team Victoria!
