The SOFT UK Trustees are grateful to our Advisers for updating our literature and making themselves available to members at conferences. Without their support and expertise, SOFT would not have informative  literature or be able to collaborate with research and raise awareness within the medical profession. May we take this opportunity to say thank you.
