We also send out a quarterly newsletter featuring articles about TN and any updates on treatments. Back copies of newsletters are available for £1.50 each in printed form or £5.00 for a CD containing the set.

We can supply two specialist publications:

Both are available through TNA UK for £20.50 each, which includes postage and packing, or at a discounted price of £39.00 for the two, including p&p.
