Kent Local MDS Group - Meetings in 2020

Post by AVME13 » 02 Feb 2020 16:23

Here are the dates for the Kent Group meetings in 2020:

Monday 9th March 2020
Monday 15th June 2020
Monday 12th October 2020

In each case the meeting times are 4pm to 6pm.

The venue is St Dunstan's Church Hall, 80 London Road, Canterbury, CT2 8LS.

Some free car parking is available at the hall on a first-come-first served basis. Frequent bus services to/from Canterbury bus station stop outside the hall (including direct services to Faversham, Whitstable, Chestfield and Herne Bay). Canterbury West railway station is 8 minutes walk away, with trains and connections to Margate, Ramsgate, Ashford, Tonbridge and Maidstone to name but a few.

The next meeting is therefore Monday 9th March 2020, 4pm - 6pm (with tea/coffee served from 3.50pm)

I'm pleased to say that Stephanie Goodchild, Haematology Clinical Nurse Specialist at Kent & Canterbury and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother hospitals (Canterbury and Margate) is our guest speaker at this meeting.

Agenda:
Registration and Introductions
Updates from MDS UK
Guest Speaker: Stephanie Goodchild, Haematology CNS (as above)
Speaker Q&A and group discussion

This is the second meeting of the Kent Group that my wife Pat and I have coordinated and we hope to see you there. If you're able to let us know in advance that you are coming that would help us, but is not essential.

Enquiries welcome on this thread, or to kentgroup@mdspatientsupport.org.uk or to Andy on 07736 931577.

Best wishes,

Andy and Pat Veitch.
