LDA Conference 2018Great conference at the University of Exeter, on Saturday September 1st.
Thank you to all who came and participated – speakers and delegates alike.
In particular we found the last session – Question Time – very useful and were sorry we had to draw it to a close to finish the conference. Questions were still coming, and debate was running, at 5.30 – after an hour of discussion.
Snippets from the researchers:
More information is needed on the course of the disease.
Are there genetic markers that hinder recovery?
The 1st stage of managing a problem is understanding it.
We need a prospective cohort study, with samples, following treatment and outcome of UK patients.
The programme is on our LDA Conferences page.
| Spotlight projectWe need help from everyone to achieve everything planned for this project – training events, podcasts, toolkit of resources etc.
The first event – a workshop for GPs – went really well, with an open minded audience anxious to learn more about Lyme disease. More to come through 2019, including an on-line toolkit hosted by the Royal College of General Practitioners.

How about forwarding a link to your friends? If you are reading this page you probably know how difficult it can be to get a diagnosis of Lyme disease and how difficult it can be for many to get effective treatment.
