pH Associates' Patient Centred Outcomes (PCO) team have successfully brought together expert UK endocrinologists and conducted a Delphi panel. The results of their Delphi panel has been published in Endocrine Abstracts, after being presented at the recent Society for Endocrinology, British Endocrinology Society (SfE, BES) 2017 meeting, in Harrogate.
This work was the first step to understanding the characteristics considered ‘important’ by UK hypoparathyroidism experts for defining patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism.
