Lyme disease, transmitted by the bite of an infected tick, has long been portrayed as ‘rare’ and ‘easy to cure’. Yet UKHSA data and patient experience suggests otherwise. 

Early diagnosis and treatment provides the best chance of recovery, but symptoms can be non-specific and easily missed at all stages, with potential long term debilitating consequences.

This interactive session will highlight the key advice within the NICE Lyme disease Guideline (NG95), provide practical insight into the array of presenting symptoms in both early and late disease, and present evidence from a recent UK national survey of patient experiences and outcomes.
