PANS Physicians’ Network

What is the PANS Physicians’ Network?

The PANS Physicians’ Network provides a forum for medical professionals with an interest in PANS and PANDAS to collaborate and further their understanding of the conditions.

It is been a thriving network and an important part of our charity mission to raise awareness and engage with healthcare professionals.

Unprecedented progress is being made in the UK around improving the awareness, understanding and treatment of young people presenting with symptoms of PANS and PANDAS. We are working exceptionally hard to help to support this momentum, both in parliament, with NHSE and with the PANS PANDAS Steering Group.

If you would like to join the network and be updated on the latest health news and research regarding on PANS and PANDAS, please sign up to our quarterly PPN bulletin..

Further Information

For further information for medical professionals, please view the international guidelines, our resources for medical professionals and visit the the PANS PANDAS Steering Group website.

Should any member of the network wish to discuss a case (or suspected case) of PANS or PANDAS with a clinician with experience of these conditions, then please do e mail us info@panspandasuk.org and we will endeavour to connect you.

Thank you so much for your continued interest in PANS and PANDAS.
