The PEM Advisory Group
PEM Friends works with a group of specialists who have offered to provide expert advice and guidance.
There are occasions when we do not know what to suggest for a specific troublesome case or when we have seen a pattern emerging that would benefit from knowledgeable input. Likewise, we develop our plans on the basis of our best understanding of our PEM Friends needs in the context of clinical and research guidelines. We hope that the overview of people with a medical or research perspective, some with specific expertise in pemphigus or pemphigoid, will add a much better challenge and support to our objective setting.
Health care professionals and medical researchers are increasingly required to consult with patient groups and PEM Friends are the main, possibly only, patient support group in the UK that focusses on autoimmune blistering diseases. Cooperation between patients and specialists can only be a good thing.
