Managing Hypoparathyroidism

Chaired by Professor Bill Fraser, this video was part of the highly successful eECE2021 Patient Voice initiative. These hub sessions provided eECE 2021 delegates with a unique opportunity to access educational content, that connects the patients’ needs and views with the scientific and clinical view of an expert.

“Great presentations and debate on hypoparathyroidism and management”  – ECE 2021 delegate

This session includes presentations on hypoparathyroidism by Professor Jeremy Turner, consultant endocrinologist, and Liz Glenister from Parathyroid UK and a discussion between them on specific management issues which patients have identified as problematic.
