COVID 19 Virus advice

We know that it is a worrying time for Birdshotters across the world, and we have been inundated with requests for advice. With regards to all questions, and to prevent any possible confusion concerning the coronavirus, please visit the NHS site below.

NHS Advice:https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

We can only repeat the same advice of washing hands, good hygiene and speaking with your own doctor about how the virus, if caught, could effect your medical treatment. Each country’s advice is changing on an hourly basis so it is best to go to the official websites who will be regularly brought up to date.

Managing the smooth running of the charities Facebook group is a daily job for the admins and we all take it very seriously, so please bear with us as we try to keep this group on course for that which it was designed; a safe, support and information centre for everyone diagnosed with Birdshot Uveitis.


And please don’t forget that the best person to keep you informed about your particular medical case is your own health advisor.


*For those not in the the UK please heed the information from your own country’s medical advice experts.*For those on any medication, please contact your personal consultant/general practitioner and follow their advice.
