Scott Brady, LLB MBA

scott_bradyScott Brady has been involved with BTF as a Trustee since 2009. As an English qualified lawyer working in Scotland, Scott contributes actively in meetings. Scott’s son became ill at 16 years old and remained undiagnosed for an extended period of time. He gave up a very promising football career having represented his country at a top level. Finally, Scott’s son was diagnosed with Graves' Disease and at 20 years old had surgery and remains under a hospital consultant. The effect on his life and that of my family prompted me to make contact with Janis Hickey and the BTF. Scott says, 'As the parent of a thyroid patient, I have witnessed first-hand the devastating effects of the illness on a person and their family. My work with BTF provides me with a view from professionals involved in the care of thyroid patients and others who have a thyroid condition'.
