When: Wednesday, 14th July 2021,11.00 am - 13.00 pm Where:Virtual Zoom Call
The meeting is for mutual support and discussion on the impact of MDS on our lives.
UPDATE 13 JULY: We are delighted to have two guests joining us:
Dr Austin Kulasekeraraj, Consultant Haematologist, Kings College Hospital, who has agreed to attend for 15-20 minutes for an informal Q&A session during the meeting; and
Maria Rees from the Worthing Haematology Support Group.
It doesn't seem likely that we shall be able to resume face-to-face meetings for a while yet.
We still want to maintain our services to you, and provide you with all the regular news about MDS, as well as giving you an opportunity to connect to one another virtually. We know how important patient to patient contact is for everyone.
Whatever happens during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, we aim to maintain some virtual meetings, as it has attracted new members, who had not attending face to face meetings previously.
Many patients have already embraced the video meeting call technology Zoom (or something similar) in order to stay in touch with family members during the lockdown.
If you haven't, please contact us. Please also see our guidance on how to use Zoom. If you are a first time user of video call – please don’t worry. The first 15 minutes of each meeting will be set aside to sort out any technical issues.
