Haemochromatosis Information Evening in Tralee

Dr. John Casey gave an excellent presentation and talk on haemochromatosis in Tralee, Co Kerry in March 2024 at the famous Rose Hotel. We were joined by Nurse Noirin Taylor and friend and volunteer with the IHA, Raphael Crowley.

Patients, their families and friends attended the information event and participated actively in the Q & A session on the night. We look forward to seeing everyone at one of our next events around the country, when we have speakers scheduled. All of these events are free to members of the public and no registration is required. If you know of any potential speakers in your county, please get in touch by email, miriam@haemochromatosis.ie and we will organise the event around the speaker’s availability.
