Support Meetings
Our online support meetings offer a welcoming space for anyone affected by Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS). They provide a chance to connect, share experiences, and receive both emotional and practical support. Some sessions feature presentations from leading MDS specialists, with time for your questions. Caregivers and family members are warmly welcome.
Membership is required to attend support meetings, but it’s completely free. Click the red button to sign up. If you have any questions, feel free to call us on 020 7733 7558.
