New Patron for BTF

We are delighted to announce that the TV presenter and sports journalist Clare Balding has accepted our invitation to serve as a Patron of BTF. Clare was treated for thyroid cancer last year and kindly endorsed the new edition of our thyroid cancer booklet.

Clare wrote: ‘I would be very honoured to accept your invitation and would like to thank the Trustees for thinking of me. I am sure you are aware that my work is rather all-encompassing but I shall do what I can to help raise awareness of thyroid disorders and in doing so, to help those who are suffering.’

New Trustee for BTF

Mr Geoffrey E Rose, Consultant Surgeon, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London has joined the BTF's board of trustees. Mr Rose says: ‘I will happily serve as a Trustee of the British Thyroid Foundation for the best interests of patients with thyroid problems and especially to advance the cause of those with thyroid eye disease’
