Kent MDS UK Local Patient Meeting – 09/03/20

KENT REGION MDS SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS

PATIENT-TO-PATIENT SUPPORT FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES

A MEETING FOR COFFEE AND A CHAT

Come and join this newly established and growing group in the Kent region. All patients are welcome to attend, as are relatives and friends.

This is an opportunity to get to know one another, share experiences and increase the support network in the area, and is also an important opportunity for newly-diagnosed patients to meet others who have been living with MDS for a while.

Date:              9th March 2020
Time:              16.00 pm – 18:00 pm - Tea and coffee will be served from 16.15
Location:       St. Dunstan’s Hall, 80 London Road, Canterbury, Kent, CT2 8LS

Agenda:

• Registration and Introductions
• Updates from MDS UK
• Guest Speaker: Stephanie Goodchild CNS, EKH FT
• Q&A followed by group discussions

Please feel free to suggest topics and themes that you would like to hear about - or speakers you have found helpful.
Please also consider giving a brief informal chat yourself about how you are dealing with MDS - what you have learnt, what has been helpful, what has been good to avoid as well.  This is incredibly useful information to share with others.

Carers/relatives/friends also particularly welcome to share their experience.
