Background Hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis is a rare, progressive and potentially life-limiting multisystem disease, affecting every aspect of a patient’s life.Objectives This online international Delphi survey aimed to evolve clinical−patient-led practical guidance, to inspire and encourage a holistic approach to care that is managed in specialist settings by multidisciplinary teams and supported by allied healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patient advocacy groups (PAGs).Design A 14-member joint patient advocate−HCP primary panel was convened including representation from PAGs and key clinical specialties (neurology, cardiology, internal medicine, physiotherapy, clinical psychology, dietetics and specialist nursing).
