2012 DES UK Media Coverage

Thousands of women could be at risk from silent Thalidomide

Since Sunday 22nd January 2012, there has been an unprecedented flurry of media attention on DES related health issues in the United Kingdom. This comes after two journalists – Sarah Morrison and Jaymi McCann – thoroughly investigated DES issues in the UK and published an exclusive DES report in the Independent on Sunday: “Thousands of women could be at risk from silent Thalidomide“. Very quickly ripple effects started and the story spread not only throughout the country but as far as the U.S. and Australia. Many newspapers and websites caught up on the story thus increasing DES awareness locally and nationally and forcing UK health websites to update their DES information.
