PANS PANDAS UK

We join the Health Conditions in Schools Alliance (HCSA)

Text: HCSA logo

PANS PANDAS UK is excited to announce its collaboration with the Health Conditions in Schools Alliance (HCSA).

This partnership aims to provide guidance and tools to schools, parents, and carers to better support children with health conditions. 

The HCSA, comprising over 25 organisations including charities, healthcare professional groups, and trade unions, works to ensure children and young people with health conditions receive the necessary support in schools. Initially focused on England, the HCSA has recently merged with the Care in Schools Alliance in Wales and is exploring expansion to other UK nations.

For more information visit their updated website. You can now also access information from PANS PANDAS UK in their resources section.   

Please share with school nurses and any allied professionals supporting your child or young person with PANS or PANDAS.
