‘I thought my brain fog was dementia until I discovered it was a vitamin deficiency’

The Gemeinsame Bundesausschuss (G-BA), Germany's top healthcare decision-making body, announced on May 15 that starting in 2026, newborns will be screened for three additional rare genetic disorders as well as Vitamin B12 deficiency.

On February 25, Pernicious Anaemia Society will host a webinar with dr. Asim Naqvi, GP and CluB-12 member. The title of the webinar is:
A GPs perspective and interest in PA and B12 deficiency – helping the patient and raising awareness in primary care

Meeting the minimum requirement for vitamin B12, needed to make DNA, red blood cells and nerve tissue, may not actually be enough – particularly if you are older. It may even put you at risk for cognitive impairment.

On February 18, Pernicious Anaemia Society will host a webinar with dr. Willemina Rietsema, CluB-12 founder. The title of the webinar is:
20 Top Questions about Pernicious Anaemia.

Vitamin B12 deficiency in over 16s: diagnosis and management. This ​​NICE guideline [NG239] has recently been published.
​

The Pernicious Anaemia PSP worked with patients, carers and clinicians to identify uncertainties about the diagnosis and management of pernicious anaemia and to agree by consensus a prioritised list of those uncertainties, for research.
