Welcome to the new TPA-UK web site!

Following many, many months of planning and development, we've finally made it! And, there's more to come as we continue building and improving the site! We'll be adding more functionality as the days and weeks progress, including much more content of interest to thyroid patients and physicians alike. We'll keep you updated on current news and developments, and as always, provide you with a range of research articles written by leading thyroid specialists.


 

The Official TPA-UK Online Discussion Group Relaunches

As with any group, there are always a number of people to thank. We'd like to take this opportunity to say a huge and heartfelt thanks to the behind-the-scenes people who have been instrumental in the development and launch of the new forum and web site.

And most of all, we'd like to thank all of you--our members--who have supported TPA-UK since its inception and through recent months!
