About us
Postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) is an abnormality of the functioning of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. PoTS UK supports and educates patients, family, friends and healthcare professionals within the United Kingdom about this under recognised and commonly misdiagnosed condition by sharing up to date evidence and resources. - We work with healthcare professionals and other charities in the UK and abroad, and advocate for our members by seeking better NHS services, more research, and targeted treatments for people with PoTS. - We aim to connect patients in a safe environment to empower them to self-manage their condition and reduce isolation. - We produce evidence-based educational content for healthcare professionals which will improve awareness of PoTS, diagnosis and management, and improve health services for patients. PoTS UK began as a Facebook group in 2010, and until 2015 all the work was undertaken by three volunteer trustees. Since then, we have grown into an internationally recognised charity. Our charity supports all ages, genders and ethnicities.

Yesterday PoTS UK staff, trustees and support nurses were joined by MP Cat Smith, Dr Nick Gall, Prof Valeria Iodice and Prof Richard Sutton to address the lack of specialist services in many regions of the UK and care pathways for patients anywhere in the UK. It is with thanks to all of you who took the time to email your MP and your continued support, that 43 MPs or their representatives came to talk to us about PoTS and how they can best help this terrible situation with the following actions: 1. Write to their Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) or local hospital providers to develop a care pathway for PoTS and ensure high-quality secondary care services are available locally. 2. Write to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting, to request that he: - ensures a secondary care service is available to patients in every region of the UK. - asks NHS England to commission national guidelines to improve patient care and their healthcare professionals’ confidence in managing them. We are extremely grateful to Cat Smith for her support in making this happen. #potsparliamentarycampaign #improvingpotshealthcare #raisingawarenessofpots #takeastandforpots

There are petitions currently before both Westminster and Holyrood for improving services for Autonomic Dysfunction and Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS). Supporting these petitions is certainly in the interests of many or most ME, CFS and Long Covid patients. PoTS and related Autonomic Dysfunction issues, (and low blood pressure presentations in general), have long been underserved by the NHS. #autonomicdysfunction #raisingawarenessofpotsservices
