We were delighted to meet everyone in-person and see people so engaged and asking lots of questions at our Galway Patient Information event at the Galway Bay Hotel in May 2023! Huge thanks to Dr. Brian Osborne, who gave a wonderful presentation. Thank you also to Dr Diarmuid Quinlan, Medical Director, Irish College of GPs. We look forward to organising our next information event in Cork in the autumn for patients, their families and anyone interested in finding out more about haemochromatosis. Other dates for the autumn will be announced in the coming months.
Ann Teehan shared her story ‘The Celtic Gene’ of her haemochromatosis journey with readers of ‘Woman’s Way’ magazine last year. Ann and her family are passionate about raising awareness of haemochromatosis, Ireland’s most common genetic disorder. Thank you Ann for sharing your personal journey with us!

Together, we’ve made strides in educating and supporting those affected by iron overload, and we look forward to continuing this important work in the year ahead. May the new year bring all our haemochromatosis family health, happiness, and many moments of joy.
