Metabolic Support UK (MSUK) is an umbrella patient advocacy organisation founded in 1981, supporting people living with Inherited Metabolic Disorders (IMDs) and their caregivers. There are approximately 30,000 people in the UK today living with one of over 500 IMDs. These are rare, lifelong genetic disorders caused by an enzyme deficiency affecting the metabolic pathway which if undiagnosed or untreated, can cause irreversible complications, or sadly even death. Focusing specifically on the rarest of the IMDs, those which have no other patient organisation or support group, MSUK delivers a wide range of support and advocacy services to address unmet needs. Using qualitative and quantitative data generated via various methodologies, our small, dedicated team works to proactively identify priority needs and develop evidence-based outputs and programmes to ensure the maximum impact for individual patients, collective patient communities and the wider IMD community.
We hope you will consider making an application. If you have questions about the appointment and would find it helpful to have an informal conversation, please contact Katy.Giddens@starfishsearch.com and we will be happy to arrange a call.
