Visiting our site from outside the UK?
If you are living outside of the UK and have concerns about your child’s growth or a diagnosed growth condition, the information the CGF provides may help you in the conversations you have with your healthcare providers. However, healthcare systems across the world differ and it may be helpful to find local organisations and the appropriate medical teams who can support you to access the right care for your child.
The CGF are members of the International Coalition of Organisations Supporting Endocrine Patients (ICOSEP). ICOSEP are a group of patient support organisations and medical societies from across the globe, a list of these and their contact details can be found here.
We are also involved in the Overgrowth Syndromes Alliance, an international association of patient advocacy groups representing overgrowth-intellectual disability (OGID) disorders, which you can find out more about here.
If you are living in the USA, you can visit The MAGIC Foundation’s website or get in touch with their team.
