FREE CARDS TO SIGNPOST HELP
The Addison’s Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG) is offering free pocket-sized cards to help you signpost patients to trusted support. The cards can be included with clinical letters, added to emergency injection kits, or handed out during appointments. They support a shared aim to help steroid-dependent patients be aware, be prepared and be understood.
The cards were created in response to your feedback! At the Endocrine Academy Clinical Update in November 2025, many of you visiting the ADSHG stand asked, ‘How can I more easily signpost my patients to the charity and share the benefits of a membership with the ADSHG?’ So, ADSHG has created this simple card, which is easy to keep on hand in clinics and offices.
To order your free bundle of 50 cards, email [email protected], and they will be posted to you at no cost. The ADSHG is here to help provide emotional and practical support to patients in the gap between appointments, so please do get in touch to place your free order!
