Supporting the pituitary community together
As many as 1 in 1,000 people in the UK are living with a pituitary condition. Every year, awareness and understanding of these life-changing disorders grows – yet misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis remains a challenge. We strive to support the clinical teams in caring for the pituitary community in the best way we can. From general practitioners dealing with the initial onset of symptoms to A&E staff responding to adrenal crises and expert endocrinology teams giving ongoing specialist treatment, we’re on hand at every step of the journey. Because together we can support patients better.

Pharmacists
As a pharmacist you are on the front line of healthcare and may come into contact with a pituitary patient who is dependent on hydrocortisone (HC). Hospital pharmacists might also be involved in hydrocortisone prescribing, for a patient on a ward or a newly diagnosed patient through the Endocrinology Department.
