Addison's Disease Self Help Group
Web: www.addisons.org.uk
The Addison's Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG) is a small charity run by and for those living and working with Addison's disease. Parents, partners, or medical professionals with an interest in the management of Addison's disease are welcome to join. They aim to share information and experiences that can help people and their families to work together with their doctors in managing their health. There is a small annual subscription.
The ADSHG is supported by the Addison's Clinical Advisory Panel (ACAP), a group of endocrinologists with an interest in adrenal medicine. ACAP has issued clinical guidelines for emergency treatment of hypoadrenalism and glucocorticoid medication for surgery and dentistry. These are available on the ADSHG website at www.addisons.org.uk/publications
The ADSHG offers its members:
- Information on living with Addison's disease.
- An emergency card outlining the medical treatment needed to prevent adrenal crisis in the event of severe illness or injury.
- A print newsletter published four times a year.
- Access to the ADSHG website which publishes a wide range of materials.
- Access to a members-only electronic discussion board.
- Regional meetings and an annual medical lecture.
