We are delighted to be able to welcome Dr. Matthew Poynton, Academic Haematology Registrar, Oxford University Hospitals Trust to this meeting.

Dr. Poynton will talk about a forthcoming study to measure people’s responses to blood transfusions.

The study will use activity monitors (“smart watches”) to more accurately measure the difference a transfusion makes to MDS patients’ day-to-day lives.
(Please Note: you do not need to visit Oxford in order to participate, as the device can be posted to you.)

It doesn't seem likely that we shall be able to resume face-to-face meetings for a while yet. These Zoom meetings provide you with all the regular news about MDS, as well as give you an opportunity to connect to one another virtually. We know how important patient to patient contact is for everyone.

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 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.

If you have not contacted the MDS UK Patient Support Group before and would like to receive a full Patient Information Pack, please contact our Main Office.
