NPUK is a member of the UK LSD Patient Collaborative Group. The collaborative is comprised of patient organisations representing those affected by lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) who have joined forces to create a strong lobbying and action group for LSD patients and their families and friends in the UK. This provides a stronger voice, and particularly at this challenging time a unifying effort to support our joint communities:
The collaborative aims to provide an understanding of LSDs by working in partnership to advance standards of care and to enhance the wellbeing of those affected by LSDs. See below for a list of the members and to find out more go to www.lsdcollaborative.org.uk
