Did you know? There are over 65 Million people in the UK and it is estimated that over 1 in 10 people suffer from Reflux Disease. Reflux disease can have a terrible impact on a patients quality of life affecting many aspects of their everyday functioning. For many people, this can be managed effectively with lifestyle changes and/or medication prescribed by their GP such as omeprazole, lansoprazole and esomeprazole (as well as others). However there are over 2 million people in the UK who do not respond effectively to this treatment and for these people, there are other options they can consider to treat their disease.

Really wanted to “attend” this webinar but when I tried to register it was impossible to get a ticket without agreeing to marketing and contact from Spire. So I gave up. Such a shame this is a way of them getting patient data rather than genuinely offering something useful to people without strings attached.

Yes that put me off too but I signed up anyway, anything that gives some help regarding acid reflux. If the marketing gets too much then I will just delete it ongoing.
