Peter C. Hindmarsh
Peter Hindmarsh is Emeritus Professor of Paediatric Endocrinology at University College London. He retired from clinical practice in 2024. His research interests continue in the physiology and pharmacology of drugs used to manage Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and novel ways of delivering hydrocortisone using pump therapy to mimic the cortisol circadian rhythm. With this innovative method, his hydrocortisone pump delivery formula individualizes infusion rates to successfully replicate the circadian rhythm and is particularly suited for individuals who have problems with fast clearance and/or gut issues.
As the parent of a young adult with Salt Wasting Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, Kathy Geertsma became chair of a Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Patient, Parent and Carer Information and Support Group known as CAHISUS. She has extensive contact with patients, parents, and carers from all over the world who struggle with confirming the cause for adrenal insufficiency and getting access to proper treatment. As a result, she offers a unique perspective about how practitioners can better serve the needs of their patients.
