  1. To campaign for the development of NICE guidelines to better support services in the referral, assessment and treatment of tic disorders in children & young people and adults.
  2. To work with stakeholders to explore and develop service pathways for tic disorders.
  3. To identify or develop technologies to support healthcare services for tics, including ORBIT
  4. Campaign to increase political & public awareness of tic disorders and the lack of healthcare services
