The British Thyroid Foundation (BTF) is a registered charity, launched in 1992. The principle aims of the BTF are to provide the sufferer and the medical profession with information, to establish regional support groups, and to raise funds for research.
The Foundation's work on behalf of the thyroid sufferer is carried out by three staff and volunteers, some of whom themselves have thyroid problems, but who have made a steady recovery and now wish to be actively involved in helping others. Some volunteers are from the medical or other professions and they act as advisers. Members also support the Foundation in many different ways - by contributing newsletter articles, distributing posters, raising funds, setting up a local support group, or simply by becoming a member. BTF members receive the following:
- Quarterly newsletters which include: articles by medical professionals on various aspects of thyroid disease, case histories, information on local group activities, letters and comments from members.
- A selection of information pamphlets.
- Details about thyroid books.
- Access to a medical advisory service.
The authors and editors of this article are employed to create accurate and up to date content reflecting reliable research evidence, guidance and best clinical practice. They are free from any commercial conflicts of interest. Find out more about updating.
