Endocrine Abstracts

The aim of this presentation is to build on the discussion that developed at the BSPED Nurse Meeting in 2014.

Consensus grew around the importance of standardisation of the advice our adrenal insufficient patients receive, in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent the risk of adrenal crisis. The evidence suggests that there may be a diversity in the management of adrenal insufficiency within the UK. Despite appropriate education, adrenal crisis is a possibility but it may be under-managed.
