Parathyroid UK

Parathyroid UK is a charity for people living with rare and hidden parathyroid disorders, just like hypoparathyroidism. It is the only patient organisation in the UK and Ireland devoted specifically to their needs. They are dedicated to patient-centred support, advocacy, and education for those affected by both rare hypoparathyroidism and more common hyperparathyroidism conditions. Their work includes raising awareness, campaigning for improved care, and bringing together healthcare professionals to advance research and create vital resources.

Society For Endocrinology

Society for Endocrinology

The Society for Endocrinology is a professional membership organisation that supports scientists, clinicians, and nurses throughout their careers in the field of hormone science. They actively engage with policymakers, journalists, patients, and the public to promote informed health decisions and showcase the importance of endocrinology. Their mission is to advance scientific and clinical education and research in endocrinology while raising its profile across the UK.
