‘Living with chronic hypoparathyroidism’ – patient survey report 2017
Read the results of our survey on 230 patients living with hypoparathyroidism. The report sets out for the first time the full extent of the hypopara patient experience in the UK.
Findings describe daily challenges ranging from ‘the impact the condition has on patients’ ability to lead a normal life – to work, drive and socialise – to the frequency with which their condition causes them to make an unplanned stay in hospital, or a trip to A&E.’
Conducted in collaboration with Shire 2017
