Let's Talk... Our first awareness film


​Our very good friends, Sam and Alex of Mayflower Films, kindly attended our September 2018 event, with speaker, Consultant Endocrine Surgeon, and Trustee of The Thyroid Trust, Mr Fausto Palazzo, who was giving a talk about The Evolution of Thyroid Surgery, at St Pancras Community Association.  They filmed Fausto's talk, which you can now view here and they also made the above short promotional film for us. 
 
The aim of these videos is to help raise awareness of thyroid disease, to encourage anyone experiencing symptoms to see their doctor, give a flavour of one of our events and share some of the common experiences of people living with a thyroid disorder.

​We hope you will enjoy watching them both. Please share widely. 

With huge thanks to Mayflower Films, Dr Catherine and Ralph!
