Help Save our Multi-Disciplinary Clinic for people with Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus.

The Issue

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital's Chief Executive Lesley Watts and her board have decided to close the "one of a kind" Multi-Disciplinary Clinic for Adults with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus after the retirement of the Lead Clinician Dr Richard Morgan in July 2017.  This will leave hundreds of patients with these conditions without a Consultant and Team to assess and continue supporting them and their needs.  We need this clinic to continue.  

N.B. Update as of 4.8.17

The Clinic has been given a 1 year reprieve but we still need to continue this campaign because all the patients who attend the clinic will still need to have medical support after the year is up.

This petition is fully endorsed by Shine, the national charity that supports people with spina bifida and hydrocephalus www.shinecharity.org.uk
