The Sussex local support group covers the whole of the county, from Chichester to Rye & Brighton to Crawley, and seeks to provide help and support to pituitary patients and their carers. The group meets four times a year at venues around the county and can include a lunch, an outdoor event such as a garden party and often has an invited guest speaker. A quarterly newsletter is sent to 150 members. To receive a copy of this and any further information please contact the area co-ordinator (AC) Mr Trevor Watson at the address below.
