Thank you, ladies, for your encouragement! The tele-conference was really interesting. As first contact between steering group members, it was about clarifying roles and responsibilities, agreeing the scope of the PSP protocol,(as outlined briefly on alopecia UK) and setting the agenda for the meeting in London in May. The ultimate aim is to identify questions about treatment unanswered by research to date, and to prioritise them in order to approach "partners" who could secure funding for targeted research. The whole process will take 14-18 months, and we will be invited to participate in completing surveys to help narrow the issues that concern us most. It's an established protocol that has worked for other conditions such as acne and vitiligo. The group has dermatologists, a trichologist, a psychologist, a wig technician plus alopecia sufferers.
This is a bit of a ramble and probably enough for now. But I hope the process will produce real results in raising the profile of our condition and encouraging research!! Please have a think, in the meantime, about what survey questions would be important to us. The meeting in May will be about compiling the first online survey....

Thanks C! I'm a little apprehensive; there was a lot of paperwork to read through, but it's well summarised on the Alopeciaonline UK website. There will be an online survey for us all to complete, in due course. Incidentally, there's a survey and opportunity for face to face interviews on www.survey.bris.ac.uk/nottingham/alopecia. It's a research study into everyday psychosocial experiences of alopecia sufferers, run by the University of Nottingham.
C, I'm also looking forward to our get-together. If you'd like a contribution to the table, let me know! X

I went to Cathy Brown for my eyebrows - she has an aesthetic beauty clinic in Mitchells Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands. She is a semi-permanent makeup and medical tattoo artist.  She trained with Nouveau Contour and is now one of their training team and teaches medical tatooing when she is not treating clients. Cathy is absolutely brilliant, great at putting people at their ease and really skilled. I'd thoroughly recommend her for anyone that lives in or around the West Midlands. www.cathy-brown.com

Hi Jean, I go to Belinda Hayle too. She did my brows and my eyelash enhancement too. I am delighted with her work. I went to Belinda a year ago and am still happy with the effect. I am going back soon for a top up to my brows. I can thoroughly recommend Belinda. Her salon is in Chertsey, Surrey. www.belindahayle.com

I had my (non-existent) eyebrows tattooed by Belinda Hayle last year.  Although expensive, it was the best thing I ever did!  I'm so much more confident and it's great that I can swim, do a gym workout, dance etc. without fear of loosing part of my eyebrows.  With absolutely nothing until the lovely Belinda worked her magic, my brows often looked like Morse Code, where perspiration removed patches of eyebrow pencil!!!  Although my brows are now a little lighter, I hope to get another few months out of them before I go for a top-up.  Might even go for the eye liner as well next time.
