PoTS Peer Support Group - Newly diagnosed or awaiting diagnosis
Date and time
Location
Online event
An opportunity to meet with others whose lives are affected by PoTS and who understand what you are going through.
About this event
This particular session is recommended for those who are still awaiting diagnosis or who have received a diagnosis in the last 12 months.
These groups are the perfect opportunity to meet with your peers and talk to those who understand what you are going through. These sessions will be run by volunteers who either have PoTS or are affected by PoTS.
These are currently only open to age 18+ but we will definitely be setting up groups for under 18s in the very near future.
All of our volunteers will have had references checked, DBS checks and completed safeguarding training.
We want these sessions to be as helpful to you as possible and will welcome your feedback to ensure we tailor the groups to what you need and want.
**The only person you should seek and accept medical advice from is your own healthcare professional who knows your medical history. It is essential that we do not give one another medical advice. These groups are the perfect opportunity to share experiences and you are welcome to share what has worked well for you. We must however appreciate how different we all are and what has worked for one may not be suitable for another. Our volunteers may stop a conversation if it appears medical advice is being given**
Please read our Peer Support Group Guidelines ahead of the meeting.
Please be aware that for safeguarding purposes, these meetings will be recorded but will not be shared. At the start of the meeting, Zoom will need you to accept that you are happy for it to be recorded in order to join the session.
If you book a space and are then unable to attend, please let us know asap so someone can have your space. Please email volunteer@potsuk.org.
