NIHR Moorfields BRC was proud to support Esme’s Umbrella at their parliamentary drop-in on Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS). It was inspiring to see MPs come together to call for better recognition, clearer pathways and stronger support for those living with CBS.

A huge thanks to Judith Potts and everyone involved for keeping this hidden condition on the national agenda 🧡
