The British Thyroid Association (BTA) is committed to promoting research and interest in the field of thyroidology and to the enhancement of clinical care to patients with thyroid disorders. We are the only national professional organisation in the UK composed of research doctors and consultants who are accredited by having completed higher professional training in thyroid and other endocrine diseases.

A non profit making Learned Society, membership of the BTA is restricted to professional clinical specialist doctors, retired consultants, academics, scientists, trainees, nurses and medical students in the UK who manage patients with thyroid disease and/or are researching into the thyroid and its disease in humans.

As part of our commitment, the BTA is responsible for the development and production of guidelines in various thyroidology subject areas as well as endorsing relevant guidelines prepared by other societies. We are also keen to support clinicians in offering thyroid patients the best quality of care delivered in an empathetic, individualised and patient-centred manner.
