We’re coming to Manchester for our third Get-Together! These are our in-person, regional events where you get to hear from incredible speakers and meet others affected by pituitary conditions. We’ve already had incredible events in Glasgow and Cardiff, so can’t wait to bring you all together in the north-west.
We’ll have brilliant talks from medical professionals, and you’ll also have the opportunity to meet staff and members of The Pituitary Foundation.
About the speakers
Professor John Wass – John is a Professor of Endocrinology at Oxford University and was the head of the Department Endocrinology at the Churchill Hospital Oxford. He is also one of the founders of The Pituitary Foundation!
John’s talk will include:
- an overview of pituitary conditions within endocrinology
- look at changes in how pituitary conditions can be diagnosed
- changes in the treatment for pituitary conditions
- looking to the future of endocrine care.
- Q&A session
Dr Sue Jackson – Sue is a chartered psychologist who researches endocrine disorders, and how the health service can be improved. She’s been involved with The Pituitary Foundation for more than two decades and writes psychological advice for people affected by pituitary conditions.
