which includes:
"HPTH UK have been working in collaboration with Abbott Diagnostics who make the i-STAT calcium home tester to try and achieve, in the long term, both of these goals. We hope to set up a professional body to develop treatment guidelines for HPTH and through these to get recognition of the need for home testing as part of the management of the condition. Although this is a long tern goal it could have far reaching results and is a wonderful opportunity for us to be actively involved in improving life for HPTH Patients."
