This site will have answered some of your queries about RP, but everyone's circumstances are different, and you may have more questions.
Our telephone Helpline is for people with RP, their relatives and anyone who needs to know more about this eye condition and how to cope with the difficulties it presents.
The Helpline is open to calls from 9.30 am to 5 pm and again from 6 pm to 9.30 pm from Monday to Friday. A call answering service is in operation at all other times for people to leave messages; these will be acted upon as quickly as possible.
You can also email our helpline anytime at helpline@brps.org.uk. We endeavour to respond to all emails within 48 hours, and the information you submit will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Please remember that this service cannot provide diagnoses or counselling, and any information given is intended only as a guide.
