The PSP Association is dedicated to the support of people with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and those who care for them. We also support those with the related, but rarer, disease Cortico Basal Degeneration (CBD).
We fund research to better understand the possible causes of PSP and CBD, to find ways to achieve earlier and better diagnosis and to develop treatments that could potentially slow down, or even halt, the progression of these diseases.
We support patients, families and carers through the services we offer on a UK-wide basis, through our Nurse Specialist helpline, our Local Support Groups, our publications (including the comprehensive Carers' Information Pack) and our Annual Symposium for carers and therapists.
We raise awareness of PSP and CBD on a local and national level and work in partnership with the relevant bodies and umbrella organisations in the UK to seek to make a positive difference to the lives of people with PSP and CBD.
