Rare diseases in primary care – the needles in the haystack (but there are a lot of needles!)

Dr Will Evans will explain how rare diseases are not only relevant to general practice but how GPs are best placed to holistically support people with rare diseases and their families.

Barts & The London Rare Disease Society are very excited to be joined by Dr Will Evans, a GP in Leeds, an academic in the PRISM group at the University of Nottingham and the clinical lead at Mendelian, a health technology company using data driven approaches to shorten the diagnostic odyssey for rare disease patients.

Will’s interests are in personalised medicine, the adoption of genomic technologies in primary care and improving the diagnosis and care of rare disease patients. Will’s eldest son has an ultra-rare disease, Niemann-Pick disease, type C, and is the chairman of the board of trustees of the national charity NPUK.
