PMOS: how the new draft NICE guideline could transform diagnosis and care
Q: How do you think the annual review feature will change patient care and outcomes?

PMOS: how the new draft NICE guideline could transform diagnosis and care
Q: Sharon, can you tell us about your experience living with PMOS and how the guideline development considered lived experiences?
