Closed Fund research and staff training on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

Closed on

Fund research into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and related mast cell conditions, and fund training for NHS healthcare professionals. We think this would improve recognition, diagnosis, and treatment, and give patients access to safe NHS care instead of potentially costly private options.

There are many people in the UK live with disabling symptoms such as flushing, pain, digestive problems, and allergic-type reactions linked to MCAS, but NHS care is sometimes inconsistent and can often be unavailable. Without research and training, patients can be left suffering or forced to pay privately. We believe government support would help bring fairness, help reduce long-term health risks, and help many people get more timely diagnosis and treatment.
