Royal College of Occupational Therapists shares statement on PANS and PANDAS

It is great to see that the Royal College of Occupational Therapists has shared the recent PANS PANDAS Working Group Statement on their website.

Accompanied by a reflection on the impacts of these conditions on daily living and occupational performance, the distribution of the statement on the Royal College website is a very welcome step towards improving standards of care for all those affected by PANS or PANDAS.
