Patient forums

Sometimes it helps to speak to other people who are going through similar situations. Our Closed Facebook groups are a safe place for people who have been diagnosed with thyroid disorders to support each other, share stories and exchange information.

The forums are not intended as a source of medical advice and members should understand that if they have any concerns they should discuss them with their doctor or specialist.

If you'd like to join one of the groups please look for the groups on Facebook search facility and send a request to join. Alternatively email us and let us know which group you'd like to join.

We currently have the following groups:

  • Parents of Children with Thyroid Disorders
  • BTF Hyperthyroidism Group
  • BTF Thyroid Eye Disease Group
  • BTF Thyroid Cancer Group
  • You can also follow us on the BTF Facebook page.

We rely on donations to fund our work supporting and informing people living with thyroid disorders. Please consider making a donation or becoming a member
