Achon Network
Achon Network
In 2018 health professionals from across the UK met in London to map out our services and discuss best practise for managing achondroplasia. The landscape with changing, for our patients- with many new trials and medications on the horizon. We wanted to keep ourselves informed, share complex cases and both participate and contribute collectively to research. It was during that meeting that the achondroplasia meetings were birthed, and we planned our meetings for the next seven years. Although we were delayed by the pandemic, the appetite to meet, keep informed, share practise and pursue research is still strong. The meetings are free, open to all health care professionals -participants encompass many different disciplines and a space where we can share expertise and work collegiately with the aim to improve holistic care for the patients we care for.
