Lupus UK have posted the following.

Tomorrow from 12-2pm BBC Three Counties Radio will be doing a feature on #lupus. It will include interviews with people with lupus, Prof David D'Cruz from the Louise Coote Lupus Clinc and Jan Roberts (trustee of LUPUS UK). It should be a great show.

You'll be able to listen at bbc.co.uk/threecountiesradio (12:00 Sunday 6th October)

For any interested, you can find it for the next week at bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01gbymf. It starts about .7.mins 20 in. Largely about Lupus with sufferers ringing in but at about 1 hr 04 Dr De Cruz talks about a question sent in asking about the rumours as to the future of the Louise Coote unit. He mentions the re-organisation that appears to be aimed at getting the more acute side of many conditions at St T's with less acute going to Guys. He assures the listeners that the Unit is NOT closing down- though at some time in the future it may move to Guys.

Unless seriously ill lupus patients are to be treated at Guys in the future, I suggest that a cure for lupus may be easier to achieve that seeing the experienced team through the ether whilst visiting the team at a re-located unit in the future. (If hospitalised lupus patients are deemed acute)

My understanding was that the unit was to move to guys sometime in the next 18 months. I wonder if the entire team will move.
