This blog post is by Vicky Roden.
​It’s a privilege to be able to join with The Thyroid Trust during International Thyroid Awareness Week, 25 - 31 May 2021.

#ThyroidTrustChat our first tweet chat

11/5/2021

 
On 25th May, World Thyroid Day, 12-1pm BST, we are holding our very first tweet chat, using the hashtag #ThyroidTrustChat. 

A tweet chat is an opportunity to have an open discussion on Twitter at a set time around a series of questions put by the hosts. Everyone is welcome to join in, patients, friends, family and healthcare professionals alike.  Our chat will be about thyroid disease, awareness raising and key issues that patients and physicians want to talk about. ​
