Behcet's Patients Centres

Who we are

Behçet’s is an auto-immune disorder which is incurable but can be managed by multi-disciplinary specialist clinical teams. It is very rare and can affect any part of the body. It often takes years to diagnose and can be debilitating to the patient.

Behçet’s Patients Centres (BPC) were formed in 2011 to work alongside the clinical teams at three NHS Centres of Excellence in the provision of specialist, multi-disciplinary care for patients. You’ll be part of our charitable company, funded by National Commissioning, co-ordinating the activities of our team of three Support Co-ordinators who work alongside the clinical teams at the Behçet’s Centres of Excellence in London, Liverpool and Birmingham. These highly-professional specialists support patients with all non-clinical aspects of living and thriving with Behçet’s.

We provide a variety of non-clinical services, including help with employment opportunities, social interactions and family support. We also work with the specialist Behçet’s Paediatric Teams to offer children the same holistic care as adults, and are currently looking into signposting to social prescribing to extend our service.

As an organisation we balance innovation and high performance with a strong family feel, embodying principles of whole self at work and honouring our evolving purpose. Our employees stay with us for years and are given a great deal of support and flexibility.
