PSC Support

Together We Are Stronger 🌟 Today on Global PSC Awareness Day 2024 we recognise the crucial role caregivers play within the PSC community. If you're a friend or family member of someone with PSC, we're here for you too. #PSCAware #GlobalPSCAwarenessDay #GlobalPSCAwareness #PSCAwarenessDay #LiverHealthMatters #QualityOfLife

Managing a chronic condition like PSC at work can be challenging. It’s important to understand your rights and your employer's responsibilities.

When we say we are a patient led organisation we really mean it. Carol has been involved with PSC Support for several years. Initially she found us to help navigate her own health journey as someone with PSC. Later she became one of our fundraisers, completing Manchester Marathon and initiating our PSC Support #20KYourWay challenge. Most recently she represented patient voices as a guest speaker at our Information Day in Birmingham. "I had a wonderful time at the PSC Information Day in Birmingham on Saturday. I learnt so much and truly appreciated the opportunity to share my journey as a PSC patient with so many of you to. Thank you to the PSC Support team for letting me play a small part in the day." Join us in thanking Carol for her ongoing support and learn more about her experience starting a family as someone with a PSC diagnosis. https://buff.ly/3YwT4in #LetsBeatPSC #PSCJourney

As the leading patient-led organisation for those with PSC, we understand the importance and value of patient perspectives. In last month’s Ask the Expert session, rather than featuring doctors, nurses, or physiotherapists, we brought you three PSC veterans—William, Maria, and Mark—who shared their personal experiences with clinical trials. Their insights will help you better understand what participating in a clinical trial involves. If you've ever considered joining a clinical trial for PSC, this is a must-watch video. You can find the full video on the PSCSupportOnline YouTube channel ➡️ https://buff.ly/4eoYUYz #LetsBeatPSC
