A Message from the Trustees

Welcome to the Autumn edition of Leaker Life.

The Association has been incredibly busy over recent months, with farewells to longstanding members of the Board of Trustees, and warm welcomes to new trustees and volunteers.

We have been very focussed on the organisation and delivery of the first ever UK Doctors Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak Study Day. You can read a summary of the day below, which was held on 20th September at the National Hospital of Neurology and Neurosurgery in Central London. We hope this will be the first of many similar days in which leakers and medics come together to share knowledge, expertise and experience in a bid to improve pathways for CSF leakers across the UK.

As we hurtle rapidly towards Christmas, please don't forget to pay our shop a visit, or consider making, or requesting a donation to the charity in lieu of a present.

Finally, from a personal point of view, as I prepare to step back from the position of Volunteer Newsletter Editor, I wish to say a heartfelt thank you to the readers of Leaker Life, to the Board of Trustees and the members of the Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) for your support, your commitment to the Association, for your brilliantly written features, creative suggestions for newsletter content, and of course for your patience as I pester you for articles!
