British Porphyria Association The British Porphyria Association is a UK charity that is committed to advocating for, supporting and educating porphyria patients, relatives and medical professionals, so as to improve the quality of life for those living with the different types of porphyria. We promote disease awareness and the advancement of research into new therapies.
The porphyrias are a group of rare, mainly genetic, conditions that have life-limiting and sometimes life-threatening impacts on a patient’s life. Patients often experience exceptionally negative effects on their physical health, family and social relationships, financial stability and psychological and emotional wellbeing. By providing families with the tools and resources to be informed about their condition, we can help to improve the lives of those affected.
