Had the honour of spending time today with another local MP @patcullen9 who took time out of her day to discuss the topic of PKU and the journey we have taken so far and the future of what lay ahead for people with PKU including new technologies and treatments to come. #pku

Had two more productive meetings today with @PaulMaskeyMP and @CathalMall to discuss life with PKU. We talked about current treatments and what new treatments are coming down the line and what support we will need both in Westminster and locally here. @NSPKU

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Chris Cassidy, a dedicated awareness campaigner for Phenylketonuria (PKU). With around 300 people in the north diagnosed with PKU, which is roughly 1 in 4,000 of the population, it was invaluable to hear firsthand about the impact this
