An unmet need: Patients with smell and taste disorders (19 December 2020)

Summary

There are large numbers of patients with olfactory disturbance in the UK and shortfalls in assessment and support amongst mainstream practice in both primary and secondary care leading to significant quality‐of‐life impairment and potential missed diagnoses.

The aim of this study from Erskine and Philpott was to determine the key themes which can be identified from the accounts of anosmia sufferers and to identify important areas to target for future research or service development.
