Past Events
The LRC team supported a wide range of events during 2024 & 2025. Via a combination of exhibition stands and conference presentations we worked to raise awareness of ticks & Lyme disease amongst Members of the Scottish Parliament, health professionals (including GPs, nurses, paramedics, and pharmacists), Directors of Education, leaders of outdoor organisations and members of the general public.
In August and September 2025, the Lyme Resource Centre volunteers were out and about at a number of outdoor events across Scotland and England to raise awareness of Ticks and Lyme disease.
