The Pituitary Foundation is a charity working to support pituitary patients and their carers.

• By providing support to patients, their families and carers in local support groups throughout the UK. (Contact the Foundation for a list of area co-ordinators.) Because most of these disorders are rare, many patients have had little or no opportunity to meet and talk with others who have already been through the same experiences.
• Publication of the Pituitary Life magazine.
• Organising seminars delivered by endocrine and other specialists at the regional and national conferences.
• Telephone support through a national helpline and the services of an endocrine nurse helpline at specified time slots throughout each week and by email.
• A telephone buddies network.
