Lyme Resource Centre is a charity with a mission to educate the public and medical profession about Lyme disease and related tick-borne co-infections and work with others to research ways to combat all tick-borne illnesses.
Welcome
We Are A Charity
We are celebrating the launch of our charity. Lyme Resource Centre was registered as a Scottish Incorporated Charitable Organisation (SICO) with OSCR, the Scottish Charity Regulator, on 21st March 2019. Irish registration is also intended.
Our first steps will be to provide an information section on this website and develop public information leaflets for distribution. We then intend to run training sessions for GPs and other healthcare staff.
We will also run conferences to bring together scientists, healthcare staff, outdoor organisations and patients to find ways of combating Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

BBC One - Disclosure: Under the Skin
"Fiona Stalker travels around Scotland to investigate the spread of Lyme disease. One tiny tick under the skin can cause chronic illness but GPs are often slow to diagnose and to give treatment. Fiona hears from sufferers who feel let down by the health service and asks what more can be done to combat this debilitating disease."
