Jan Dryden: Trustee

Jan was diagnosed with Addisons in January 2003 and joined ADSHG soon after. She has found the group an invaluable source of support and information and is keen to help others in the future.

Jan was diagnosed with Addisons in January 2003 and joined ADSHG soon after. She helped with the 2003 international survey on Addison’s, inputting data, and joined the editorial team in 2005. She has also helped staff the ADSHG display stall at conferences and taken part in a medical trial at Addenbrooke’s hospital in Cambridge.

Jan has been a teacher all her professional life, working with children with specific learning difficulties as part of a Lambeth advisory team. She is retiring this summer and will have more time to offer towards the work of the ADSHG. She has one son who is due to go to Leeds University next September. Travelling and  exploring the world are interests she hopes to do more of once retired! She enjoys listening to a wide range of music and particularly likes live concerts.
