About us
Who we are
Wolfram Syndrome UK is a patient orientated organisation; who take pride in helping to offer high quality support services, facilitating access to the WS specialist clinics operated by NHS England. During these clinics those affected and their families can be seen by medical experts to help maintain a good quality of life and receive the most up to date treatments and advice, which is then shared back to a patient’s local care team.
