PoTS UK Peer Support Group - South East and South West

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+. We do run a separate group for 13-17 year olds.

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.

Participants that do not wish to have their camera/sound on are required to introduce themselves in the chat box at the start of the session and state that they do not want to participate, just observe. This is for safeguarding reasons to ensure that everyone feels safe during the session. The host has the right to remove anyone who does not comply with this requirement.

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.
