Fund training for all healthcare providers on spotting and dealing with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) as well as facilities where people with this condition can access the correct form of healthcare as I believe this is seriously lacking.

PoTS can be life-altering and extremely debilitating. It seems there is currently very little training for healthcare professionals on PoTS and little research, meaning that many could be going undiagnosed or aren't getting the care they require. Some reports indicate there has been an increase in people with PoTS after Covid-19 and it seems there are very few specialists to deal with them. I believe many people with PoTS are not receiving any care and have very little quality of life.

Government response

Improving health outcomes for people who live with long-term conditions, including postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS), is a key part of the Government's ambition to build an NHS fit for the future.
