I am climbing The Three Peaks with my team at Burston Cook to raise as much money as we can for our chosen charities.  11 of us have set ourselves the challenge of climbing the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales in just 24 hours!) Please dig deep (for a group of office workers whose only daily exercise is hammering
our keyboards!

Behçet’s Syndrome (also known as Behçet’s Disease or, simply, Behçet’s) is a chronic condition resulting from disturbances in the body’s immune system.

Behçet’s UK represents all Behçet’s patients in the UK including those yet to be diagnosed. We strive to secure the best care for all Behçet’s patients and assist their carers, parents, and relatives.

Reducing time to diagnosis, adopting consistent criteria, is our top priority; sitting alongside ensuring that members diagnosed with Behçet’s receive access to timely effective treatment together with best-practice care and pathways.

Raising comprehensive awareness of Behçet’s amongst all clinicians within NHS primary, secondary and tertiary care is vital in achieving these outcomes, together with promoting research into the cause, effects, treatment, and management of this rare, complex, and debilitating lifelong disease.

Having helped to establish three Behçet’s Centres of Excellence in England, we now lobby for proper comprehensive care in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
