February: we had a presence at the BSSH training days in Manchester where Dupuytren was covered. We had designed a new leaflet for this: Dupuytren Society charity leaflet 2026 . We had a table to present the charity to the surgeons.
In January we made a series of pie charts using the results from a survey done December 2025 asking patients their experience seeing a hand surgeon and having fasciectomy or fasciotomy.
