Revamped Information Leaflet for GPs and Paediatricians on PANS and PANDAS in the UK
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our revised and updated Information Leaflet tailored for GPs and Paediatricians. This crucial update aims to elevate awareness, equipping healthcare professionals with the latest insights in this rapidly evolving field of medicine.

Commitment from Maria Caulfield: Health Minister Maria Caulfield reaffirmed a commitment in Parliament (September 2023) to ensure that individuals with PANS and PANDAS receive the care they need for improved outcomes.
