I have always been committed to the education of patients and often lecture to various patient support groups. I have been a medical advisor to the North West London Osteoporosis patients support group for many years and have also been involved with Verity (PCOS patients support group UK).

Within the Specialist Osteoporosis Service at the Royal Free I developed structured patients education program, specific bone loading exercise program, yearly updates for GPs and yearly Study Days for nurses and physiotherapist. I also produced The Royal Free guidelines for the management of osteoporosis and also the Guidelines for prevention and management of corticosteroid induced osteoporosis.

I find www.hormone.org the best resource for providing information to patients about various endocrine disorders.
