Spotlight on PANS PANDAS UK at the TES SEND show! 

Date Published: 14/10/2024

On October 11th and 12th, 2024, PANS PANDAS UK exhibited at the TES SEND show at the Business Design Centre in London.

The two-day event provided a valuable opportunity to raise awareness of PANS and PANDAS among education and allied professionals. Numerous discussions took place with individuals and organisations whose work overlaps due to shared symptom profiles.

There were also interviews aimed at raising awareness, opportunities to promote the teacher training, alongside our resources, and significantly to highlight the strategic health, social care and education work that is underway.

Many attendees mentioned that they had already heard of these conditions, often through social media. They were engaged, eager to learn more, and interested in exploring different ways to collaborate. Many thanks to Toni Whitney for all of her time and support.
