Welcome to our new website!

Welcome to AMEND's brand new group, Phaeo Para Support UK and a brand new website!  After canvassing AMEND's members in 2018, it became clear that our phaeo para members found it difficult to identify with AMEND and that a new organisation would be useful, not just to provide information specifically on phaeo para syndromes, but also to raise awareness and reach the wider community.  We hope you enjoy exploring during this, the inaugural Phaeo Para Awareness Week!
