Audio interviews

Starting with the first Birdshot Day in 2010, BUS has gathered a selection of audio interviews with birdshot patients and with the professionals who treat them. This collection is a valuable resource of information for everyone who has an interest in birdshot, especially for anyone new to the condition. Having a rare disease is a lonely experience, but hearing other people’s stories about it can be very helpful.

Many of the birdshot interviews were conducted by Dr Tracy Craggs. Tracy has been listening to people talk about sensitive issues for many years, including asking Holocaust survivors and members of the armed forces to share their experiences. 

Thank you to BUS member David Bethell for enhancing and preserving these recordings for us.
