Professor James Neuberger – Chair

After qualifying from Oxford and general medical posts in London and Leeds, I spent over 10 years at the Liver Unit, King’s College Hospital, London before moving to Birmingham in 1987 until I retired from clinical practice. My interest in PBC started at Kings and I have worked in the field since starting at Kings. I have been a long-time supporter and admirer of the Foundation and have been involved at Medical Director for a decade and delighted to be Chair of the Board to help build on its great achievements and support all those affected by PBC.

Jane Thomas

I was first diagnosed with PBC in 1996. It was a total shock never heard of it before. My consultant had told me about the PBC Foundation. My husband contacted them and I spoke to Collette. Collette reassured me. I  had my first Transplant in 2004 then I had to have a second in 2017. I was so impressed by the work the Foundation did I became a regional Volunteer for Hampshire in 2006.I absolutely love being a Volunteer helping those who also suffer from this and reassuring those who are newly diagnosed. I am now on the Board of Directors helping to put my experience across for our community. I don’t have any qualifications just my experience of life and living with PBC. I am widowed with one daughter and 2 beautiful grandchildren. I have had many jobs one being a cook at a junior school then being an escort for a special needs school.
