On Wednesday 13th December 2023 Max Appeal were proud to host an All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG)  reception at the Houses of Parliament yesterday. The 22q11 APPG is now chaired by the very proactive MP for Banff and Buchan, David Duguid who was both host and compare for the event. Funded by Natera and attended by a wide range of people including Max Appeal families, MP’s, Health professionals and with a strong international representation from Northern Ireland, America and Europe.

A wide range of topics were presented including the updating of the Max Appeal “Consensus Document”, new born screening and the highlight being a presentation by Maria Caulfield the Minister for Mental Health and Women’s Health who offered to meet Max Appeal in the future to discuss how she could potentially support going forward.

A very positive day!”
